“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!"

Mission
“I wanted to create a resource that would have transformed my own experience as someone navigating the workplace with a mental health condition.”
Kelly Greenwood
Founder & CEO, Mind Share Partners
Creating a mentally healthy workplace.
Mind Share Partners is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit organization that is changing the culture of workplace mental health so that both employees and organizations can thrive.
We build public awareness, host communities to support ERGs and professionals, and provide workplace training and strategic advising to leading companies.
Our goal
is to build awareness, support, and acceptance in the workplace for people with mental health conditions.
We envision
a world in which everyone is open about their conditions and accepted by others, enabling them to get the treatment that they need to thrive.
Our theory of change
Outcomes
Employees with mental health conditions
will have less shame and self-stigma, enhanced supports, and increased treatment.
Managers & colleagues
will have a better understanding of mental illness, be equipped to support others, and have less prejudice.
Employers
will benefit from cost savings from improved employee mental health, as measured by rates of absenteeism, presenteeism, short and long-term disability, employee engagement, and turnover.
Our approach
By normalizing mental health at work, we remove barriers for employees who want to seek treatment. When an organization commits to building a mentally healthy workplace, it develops healthy employees who can be engaged and productive.
Research shows that social contact, along with peer support and education, are the most effective ways to normalize mental health conditions and reduce stigma. Our three programs map to each of these pillars.
