“Not acknowledging that millions are dealing with mental health conditions is costing an enormous amount both in terms of dollars and cents and, more importantly, people's lives."
Arianna Huffington
Mental Health at Work Mini-Conference, May 2018
"I personally would like to thank Mind Share Partners for all of your support of this ERG and community from the very beginning when we were unsure, driven, and quite a bit scared on launching something that would make us so vulnerable. You provided resources and insight that gave us direction, hope, and reminded us that what we were creating would matter to our peers. To which, you were right. I'm thankful for Mind Share Partners, what you stand for and all that you're creating in this new area of diversity, inclusion, and belonging."

"After the Mind Share Partners conference, we created our own Mental Health Fund, since our health insurance excludes it, and talked about it so our team knew we had their back and they'd be covered for emergency care for suicidal thoughts, etc.
It's a start. Stigma runs deep. It's good that [Mind Share Partners] is helping workplaces talk about it!"

Become a mental health champion
Mind Share Partners' Institute will equip you with core knowledge and skills to support mental health and well-being at work. You will learn how to leverage our pressure-tested framework for a mentally healthy organization. You will also have the opportunity to develop your own mental health initiative—we've seen many students successfully launch these initiatives at their organizations after completing the institute.
The program leverages expertise from mental health, management, and legal fields. It is intentionally limited to a smaller number of participants to allow for deeper engagement during the live training sessions to ask questions and share ideas. You’ll meet changemakers from other organizations with similar goals and engage in collaborative breakout sessions throughout the program.
This program will start in the Fall of 2025.
