“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!"

Leaders and those who work with key decision makers from HR, People, DEI, L&D, and similar disciplines who can influence tangible change by implementing an impactful mental health strategy at their organization.

The Program & What You'll Learn

Benefits of Becoming A Certified Mental Health Champion
Mental health at work has moved from a nice-to-have to a must-have.
Attracting and retaining talent has become a top priority as younger generations are quitting their jobs, questioning the current state of work culture. Our 2021 Mental Health at Work Report found that 81% of Gen Z and 68% of Millennial respondents have left previous roles due, at least in part, to mental health reasons.
