“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!"

Become a Partner
Our partners help us drive the social movement around workplace mental health and scale our movement building activities.

How to Become a Partner
Mind Share Partners is teaming up with organizations that understand that the future of workplace mental health demands culture change — with more vulnerability, compassion, and sustainable ways of working. Our ideal company partners are proven mental health leaders in their industry or aspire to be industry leaders in workplace mental health, culture, and DEI. We carefully vet each request to ensure it’s a good fit and a successful partnership.
We increasingly see our corporate sponsors partner with us on workplace training and advising to drive culture change within their organization, and clients become corporate sponsors to align their brands with the growing workplace mental health movement.
Featured Partnership Opportunities
“Leaders Go First” Video Campaign
CEOs and business leaders hold a key role in normalizing workplace mental health. Partner with us on a high-quality, influential video campaign featuring senior executives sharing their mental health stories to reduce stigma and normalize mental health at work. A leader ally playbook will be created by MInd Share Partners, and co-branded with sponsors, in conjunction with the video campaign. We are seeking corporate sponsors, as well as an in-kind partner with video and marketing capabilities.
Peer Listening Toolkit/Guide
Peer listening programs (launched by leading companies such as Google, Best Buy, VMWare, and Reuters) are a promising strategy that creates a low-barrier first connection for employees struggling with mental health challenges. Sponsor and align your brand with a downloadable peer listening toolkit that will be the go-to resource for best practices when launching these programs. Combine this with our mental health champion training (see case study).
Virtual Community for Mental Health Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Mind Share Partners manages a free, exclusive network of leaders from mental health, neurodiversity, disability, and similar ERGs/affinity groups from 330+ companies (and growing). Sponsor this community to help us expand the resources available to this rapidly growing group of internal changemakers.
