“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!"

Create a culture of trust and support.
Our custom workshops focus on creating a culture of trust, facilitating difficult conversations, and empowering teams with concrete tools and strategies. We teach managers and peers the ins and outs of navigating the work environment with a mental health condition without fear or shame.
FAQ - Workshops
FAQ
What will Mind Share Partners do for my company? What is the business reason? Why I should care?
About $17 billion is lost annually in workplace productivity due to employees struggling with unaddressed mental health conditions. More than 80% of employees who have a mental health condition will not seek treatment because of fear and shame. In addition, unhealthy workplace cultures can trigger or exacerbate poor mental health. Multiple reports on mental health in the workplace have reported that the combination of unsupportive cultures and untreated condition results in lost productivity, lowered performance, and decreased employee engagement.
Mind Share Partners brings a comprehensive solution to companies through executive leadership, workshops, and peer groups. Our research-based programs are designed to reduce stigma and to equip companies and professionals with effective tools and strategies to create thriving workplaces.
How do you ensure that my company doesn’t get in trouble legally?
Our workshops are developed in concert with legal, human resource, and mental health professionals to ensure compliance with the law and with each fields’ best practices. We also work closely with our clients’ HR and legal departments to ensure that our content aligns with their company policies and practices.
What are your workshops?
Mind Share Partners’ workshops focus on creating a culture of trust, facilitating difficult conversations, and empowering teams with concrete tools and strategies. We teach managers and peers to respond appropriately to their colleagues’ needs, helping them to healthily navigate the work environment without fear or shame. We use role-playing exercises and concrete strategies and tools that will help your teams improve.
The first step in bringing Mind Share Partners’ workshops to your company is to speak with your leadership and your HR and/or Diversity & Inclusion teams to assess the needs of your organization. We want to make sure that our workshops operate in tandem with your existing HR policies and management practices. Then, we can build a workshop schedule that works for you—whether half, full, or multi-day, and for your entire company or a narrower group.
What benefits would a company see from taking you workshops?
When your people know how to support a colleague with a mental health condition, they have the power to create stronger teams, to have empathetic, empowering conversations, and to know smart steps to take. Our customized workshops help to improve your workplace culture so that your employees are happier and more productive. Your company will benefit from cost savings from lower rates of absenteeism and turnover as well as higher productivity and employee engagement.
Why is this important for my managers/company given all our pressing priorities?
With the high prevalence of stress and burnout on teams, there are often pre-existing and untreated mental health conditions that affect every meeting, project, and deliverable. If employees are not supported and encouraged to manage their mental health effectively, managers and company leaders will continue to see sustained productivity loss that affects all work deliverables and priorities.
How is this different from Crucial Conversations or other existing management or mental health trainings?
Mind Share Partners explicitly focuses on workplace mental health at the core of our trainings, instead of being a broad “wellness program” or a conversation tool to improve performance. Our approach drives sustained support for employees who need it, as opposed to stepping in only during crisis management scenarios.
How much do your workshops cost?
We offer corporate memberships and packages with our peer groups and Leader Allies program. Please reach out for more information.
Thanks to our generous donors, we are able to provide discounted pricing to small businesses and nonprofits seeking to bring training to their organizations. We look forward to speaking with you further.
