“My experience working at Lyra has been nothing short of pleasant. The role of being a clinical care navigator is not stress-free, and there certainly are harder days, but they are manageable, all thanks to a supportive team and environment. In my previous roles, I often experienced the “Sunday scaries” but ever since being here, I haven't felt that. That's because I know even through tough calls, I’ll be seen and supported. It's a wonderful opportunity to not only connect people to care, but to be one of the first encounters people have to the world of mental health.”
