Addressing the psychological side of workplace injuries can reduce recovery time by up to 70%, transforming outcomes for both workers and employers.
In this episode, Joe Holtschlag, CEO of Ascellus Behavioral Health, and Liam Donohue, Founder and Managing Partner at .406 Ventures, explore how mental healthcare is transforming the workers’ compensation system and why this evolving market brings both challenges and opportunities.

He explains how Ascellus coordinates clinicians, claims adjusters, and employers to build an infrastructure that prioritizes care while ensuring timely return-to-work outcomes, achieving 88% returns within 8–12 therapy sessions. Liam adds an investor’s view, comparing this outcome-based model to AbleTo and emphasizing the double ROI of behavioral health, improving both human and financial results through technology, evidence-based therapy, and strategic partnerships.
