The Program
Our online certification program leverages expertise from mental health, management, and legal fields to help you create a mentally healthy culture for yourself, your team, and your organization. Participants of the program will gain key skills and strategies to create a culture of mental health with their respective companies and share what they’ve learned in an awareness-building lunch & learn conversation.

Learn more.
Improve retention.
34% of employees (and 50% of millennials) have left previous roles for mental health reasons.
Maximize engagement.
217 million days of work are lost in productivity every year due to unaddressed mental health conditions.
Reduce absenteeism.
Employees with unaddressed mental health conditions experience 31x more absentee days than employees without a condition.
Improve benefits utilization.
Employees don't use benefits if they aren't encouraged to or don't feel safe doing so.
Foster inclusivity.
Focusing on wellness without naming mental health can alienate those facing challenges even further.
