“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!"

Peer Group Discussion Guide
A six-session facilitation guide for ERG (affinity group) leaders on workplace mental health.
Create an open dialogue and safe space to talk about mental health at work.
Mind Share Partners' Peer Group Discussion Guide is designed to support leaders of employee resource groups (or affinity groups) in facilitating impactful discussions around workplace mental health.
As an ERG leader, we know that your time is limited, so we created thoughtful programming with little preparation required by the facilitator. Use this guide as-is, or in conjunction with your ideas to expand, deepen, and contextualize these mental health conversations to your organization’s unique culture and people.
