“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!"

The data shows the future of workplace mental health is going back-to-basics.
Our third biennial report uniquely explores how workplace mental health in the U.S. has changed from before, during, and after the pandemic.
Mental health isn’t improving, but there are some bright spots, like employer investments in workplace mental health efforts paying off and creating positive changes in workers’ experiences. Workers' awareness of mental health has grown. They are looking for more than traditional benefits and new technologies from employers.
As we look to the future, workplace mental health requires employers to go back-to-basics—a focus on company culture and worker needs—to build and sustain a mentally healthy workforce.
