“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!"

Companies and media alike have a unique opportunity to create meaningful change around the narrative of workplace mental health through the language and visuals they choose.
The past 18 months have proven that mental health is no longer a workplace benefits discussion or self-care issue—it increasingly plays a central role in employee experience and wellbeing, in employers’ business and people strategies, and in the growing global dialogue around mental health and the culture of work.
These guidelines, created in partnership between Mind Share Partners and iStock by Getty Images, are intentionally designed to inform, educate, and ideally ensure that small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and the media covering these stories feel equipped to make thoughtful visual choices when depicting mental health in the workplace. While these guidelines are suggestions, each is rooted in research, data, and insights from leading mental health experts and leading visual experts. Together, they seek to provide actionable guidance to elevate the conversations and stories around workplace mental health as a priority issue for businesses and ensure that they more accurately, inclusively, and productively illustrate mental health, their people, and the future of work.
