Understanding Employee Interest in Alternative Mental Health Benefits

Mental health support is evolving beyond traditional therapy and medication. Forward-thinking organizations are exploring psychedelic-assisted therapy and alternative mental health treatments as part of comprehensive employee wellness programs. This survey template helps HR teams and benefits administrators gauge employee interest, understand access barriers, and identify stigma reduction needs.

Why This Survey Matters

Psychedelic-assisted therapy—including treatments with psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine—has shown promising results for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. As regulatory landscapes shift and clinical research expands, employees are increasingly curious about these evidence-based alternatives.

This template allows you to:

• Measure genuine interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy and alternative mental health treatments
• Identify coverage gaps in your current benefits package
• Understand accessibility concerns including provider availability and cost barriers
• Assess workplace stigma that may prevent employees from seeking innovative treatments
• Gather feedback on educational resources and support employees need
