She founded Kara Connect in 2014 and has served as CEO for over 9 years, building a community of professionals to give employees easy access to support. Takeaways Tobá's journey from studying educational psychology to founding Karaconnect highlights the intersection of education, mental health, and technology. The impact of digital tools on social interactions and the need for personalized mental health support in the workplace are significant considerations for organizations. The barriers to adoption of mental health services in organizations include budgeting, stigma, and the disconnect between HR, CFOs, and CEOs. Karaconnect's approach to providing personalized mental health and wellbeing services has led to higher usage rates compared to traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). Implementing effective mental health support in the workplace requires addressing challenges related to EAPs, communication, and engagement.
