Mental Health Support Dashboard
Introduction
The Mental Health Support dashboard provides visibility into how members are accessing mental health support through Sonder, including demand volume, priority distribution and psychosocial themes.
Metrics
Mental health support
The count of mental health support cases created within the selected timeframe.
High priority cases
The count of mental health cases triaged at a “High” priority level within the selected timeframe.
Priority is a triage indicator and should not be interpreted as diagnosis.
Psychosocial cases
The count of mental health cases tagged as related to psychosocial hazards.
Total mental health cases
Mental health case volume over time.
Increased cases may reflect increased pressure, but can also reflect improved trust and help-seeking behaviour. Trend direction over multiple periods is more meaningful than a single spike
Channels used for support
The channel members used to access support
Case priority distribution
The breakdown of mental health cases by priority bands
How to use this dashboard
The Mental Health Support dashboard provides insight into how members are accessing mental health support through Sonder.
One helpful comparison is the number of unique members seeking support compared with the total number of cases. In many organisations, the total number of cases may be higher than the number of members seeking support. This can indicate that members have returned to the Support Centre for additional support after their initial experience.
Trend data can also help identify patterns over time. Changes in case volume may align with seasonal pressures, organisational events or external factors affecting the workforce.
Case themes provide another layer of insight. By reviewing the themes most commonly associated with support cases, organisations can better understand the types of challenges employees may be experiencing.
These insights are often used to:
-
inform targeted wellbeing communications
-
guide the design of wellbeing initiatives
-
highlight areas where employees may benefit from additional support resources
Higher case volumes should not automatically be interpreted as negative. In many cases they reflect increased awareness of support services and greater willingness to seek help.
