For Employers & Benefits Teams

Support before burnout, for employees and the families they go home to.

Chaperone gives your people a trusted human to talk to, earlier and with less friction, backed by guided tools and aggregate-level reporting that respects everyone’s privacy.

The buyer problem

Your EAP exists. Your people still don’t use it.

Workforce stress, caregiving load, and quiet burnout build long before anyone books a clinical appointment. Traditional benefits often sit unused because they feel formal, far away, or like admitting something is “wrong,” so challenges escalate before help arrives.

Benefits leaders are asked to show engagement and impact, support dependents and families, reduce stigma, and do it all without crossing privacy lines or surveilling employees. That’s the gap Chaperone is built to close.

  • Stress and burnout that go unspoken until they affect work and home
  • Low EAP utilization and benefits that feel out of reach
  • Dependents and family members with nowhere obvious to turn
  • Pressure to prove impact without surveilling employees
What this population needs

A lower barrier between “I’m struggling” and “I have someone to talk to”

Employees and their families don’t need another portal. They need a warm, human entry point that meets them early, holds privacy carefully, and guides them to the right next step.

A low-barrier first step

Reaching out should feel like talking to a person, not filing a case. Support that’s easy to start makes early help far more likely.

Support that includes family

Stress at home shows up at work. Dependents and household members need a clear, dignified place to turn too.

Privacy they can trust

People only open up when they’re sure their employer isn’t watching. Conversations stay private; only aggregate trends are ever shared.

Low-barrier access routing

People describe what’s going on in their own words and get guided to a Peer Coach, the right tool, or external resources.

How routing works

Aggregate-level reporting

Engagement and well-being trends at the population level: enough to show value, never enough to identify an individual.

See reporting
Reducing stigma is a design goal, not a slogan. The entry point is warm and human, support is easy to start, and nothing about how someone uses Chaperone is ever reported back to a manager.

“Sometimes you just need one person who gets it, before it becomes the kind of thing you have to take time off for.”

  • Trained and background-checked
  • Supervised, with quality-assurance review
  • Equipped to escalate to clinical or crisis resources
The role of Peer Coaches

Peer Coaches are the human center of the experience

Peer support is connection, encouragement, and practical guidance from someone who has been there. It is not therapy, clinical treatment, diagnosis, or crisis counseling. When something needs a clinician or an immediate crisis response, Peer Coaches help people get there.

For your workforce, that means earlier conversations, less stigma, and a steady human presence between, before, and beyond formal care.

The role of intelligent guidance

AI assists the work. People do the caring.

Intelligent guidance helps people find the right next step and helps Peer Coaches focus on the conversation. Every AI-assisted step is human-supervised, and AI never becomes the primary relationship or a stand-in for a coach, clinician, or crisis service.

Helpful routing

Points people toward the right support.

Conversation summaries

Saves coaches time on notes.

Gentle check-ins

Keeps support continuous over time.

Safety signal support

Flags concerns for human review.

Chaperone is built on a HIPAA-informed, SOC 2 readiness posture, with supervision, escalation, and clear safety protocols connecting people to clinical and crisis resources when they need more than peer support.

  • Aggregate-only reporting; no individual surveillance
  • Private conversations, never shared with managers
  • HIPAA-informed, SOC 2 readiness posture

In practice

What earlier, human support can look like

Employee, mid-shift

“I didn’t think it was bad enough to use the EAP.”

A warm, low-barrier first conversation with a Peer Coach helps someone talk through caregiving stress weeks before it would have turned into a leave of absence.

Eligible dependent

“My teenager had somewhere to turn.”

A family member gets guided to supervised peer support and the right tools, and, when needed, is connected onward to clinical or crisis resources.
