1:1 Support Helps Managers Thrive While Fostering More Resilient Teams

Lyra Health, the leader in workforce mental health care, today announced the launch of AI-enhanced manager coaching. The new program supports people leaders to do their best and helps them tackle team-wide hurdles including burnout and broken workflows.

Managers are the front line of any workforce, and they are struggling. More than half of them say being a manager has negatively affected their mental health and 48% say they’ve considered leaving their role due to mental health pressure. Lyra’s Manager Coaching gives them the personalized, specialty support they need. It also goes beyond leadership training to teach them how to diagnose the root of team struggles, such as mismatched communication styles, the need for individual coping skills, or broken work design.

“Most programs teach managers what to do; we teach them how to think,” said Joe Grasso, Vice President Workforce Transformation, Lyra Health. “By learning to spot whether a problem is personal or structural, managers can stop wasting time on the wrong fixes and start enacting solutions that truly enhance wellbeing and performance.”

Practical Support for Real Work

Lyra’s Manager Coaching program is built on five pillars that set it apart from traditional professional coaching:

• Highly personalized: Lyra gives managers specialized insights tailored to their specific role and their employers’ business goals.
• Around the clock: Manager coaching includes an always-on, 24/7 AI Guide designed to provide support between sessions.
• Clear escalation: Our coaches are trained to identify when a manager’s needs go beyond professional support and require coordinated clinical intervention.
• Strategic solutions: We give managers a step-by-step process to solve root issues like role clarity and resourcing to drive sustainable team performance.
• Data-driven: Our science-backed learning and development curriculum delivers consistent and measurable guidance.

Our ICF-certified coaches use a proprietary framework that exceeds industry standards. This ensures every manager learns a shared leadership language and the same diagnostic skills to scale a consistent, high-quality culture.

Lyra’s Manager Coaching will be available beginning Q4 2026. For more information, visit.
