“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!"

Mental health is not an “us” vs. “them” issue—we’re all in this together.
Nearly everyone will face a mental health challenge at some point during their lifetime. That means mental health affects every meeting, every phone call, and every workplace.
And even worse, many organizational cultures create mental health challenges for all employees. What if we could drastically improve individual lives, communities, and professional cultures by reducing stigma, proactively supporting workers' mental health, and building healthy and sustainable work cultures?
Mind Share Partners is leading the movement for workplace mental health.

Leading With a DEIB Lens
Mental health is universal, and challenges are increasingly the norm.
76% of U.S. workers reported experiencing at least one symptom of a mental health condition in the past year.
The workplace drives mental health and other long-health outcomes.
84% of employees reported at least one workplace factor had negatively impacted their mental health.
Workers are prioritizing mental health.
91% of job seekers think it is important for a company’s culture to support mental health, and 50% have left jobs for mental health reasons.
Stigma is real (still).
8 in 10 employees say stigma keeps them from getting treatment, and only half of U.S. workers got a positive response when talking about mental health at work.
Culture efforts pay off.
Awareness-building programs have a 6:1 ROI, compared to reactive, treatment-focused programs at 3:1.
