“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!"

Why We Created This Community
In the last few years, a growing number of companies have created employee resource groups (ERGs) or affinity groups that are exclusively focused on mental health or include mental health in their programming (e.g., neurodiversity, disability).
Mind Share Partners created this community to equip ERGs with the knowledge and skills to maximize the potential of their communities while building a national network of mental health ERGs.

"This ERG community is a fantastic resource to help! I thought I was unique in this type of ERG and had to go it alone, but since connecting, I have found so many useful resources to help overcome the obstacles I have been faced with. Knowing I am #NotAlone in this Mental Health ERG journey and knowing there are experts who can help me make the impact is truly an awesome blessing!"
