Proactive behavioral health, built on behavioral activation.
ShiftState brings behavioral activation, a proven clinical approach to depression, to your whole workforce. It reaches employees who are starting to struggle and helps them build momentum early, before small problems grow into larger ones.
Talk with usWhat is behavioral activation?
Change what people do, and how they feel follows.
Behavioral activation (BA) is a structured, evidence-based treatment for depression. When mood drops, people pull back from the things that give them energy and meaning, and that withdrawal drives mood lower still. BA breaks that cycle by helping people plan and follow through on small activities they value, one step at a time.
It is simple to deliver, and in clinical trials it has performed as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. That makes it a good fit for a workforce at scale.
The downward cycle
Low mood→Withdrawal→Less reward→Lower mood
With behavioral activation
Planned, valued activity→Reward→Momentum→Better mood
