Traditional approaches to mental health in organizations often rely on a single continuum<\/b>, where mental health and mental illness are treated as opposite ends of the same spectrum. ThriveOS moves beyond this limitation by adopting the Dual-Continua Model<\/b>, providing a more accurate and actionable foundation for diagnosis and design.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
