Who should join the Institute?

​We encourage teams to do this training together!
 

This program was created for those whose job role includes supporting workplace mental health initiatives, communications, and programs, such as:

​

• Managers and leaders seeking to create an action plan for mental health to support their organization or team.
   

• 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.
   

• Managers and leaders at non-profit organizations who want to support their organization or team (learn if you qualify for our scholarship program!).
   

Due to limited spots and the intended outcome of the program (to drive culture change), Mind Share Partners Institute is most beneficial for people who work for companies of more than 10 people, and not intended for independent consultants. If you do not meet this requirement, please email us on why you would be a good fit for the program at institute@mindsharepartners.org.

The Program & What You'll Learn

The Institute will take place across five 90-minute virtual training sessions using case studies, scenarios, personal reflection, and action planning tools. This program will equip you with core knowledge and skills to support mental health at work, and create an actionable strategy with practical steps that leads to meaningful culture change within your team and organization.

Our online certification program leverages expertise from mental health, management, and legal fields. The program is intentionally limited to a smaller number of participants to allow for deeper engagement during the live, facilitated training sessions to ask questions and share ideas.

The program ends with a capstone project to practice implementing everything you’ve learned.

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.

As a certified Mental Health Champion you will be equipped to drive true culture change needed to support employee mental health in your organization.
