Workplace Mental Health

These are companies or organizations that work with other businesses to develop, and implement, employee mental health and wellness programming, I haven’t engaged directly with all of them in developing my own agency’s programming, but I have researched each of the orgs listed and found incredible value in what they offer.

I’ll continue to add more resources here as I find them.

Corporate mental health training and resources

  • The Mind Solution

    I’ve been working directly with Sara Maude, The Mind Solution’s founder + director, to bring a comprehensive wellbeing portal to my workplace. She’s been an incredible collaborator throughout the process, and intimately understands the challenges that so many organizations face. In addition to the wellbeing portal, her company also offers consulting, coaching, manager training, webinars, and a whole host of other resources.

  • This Can Happen

    This Can Happen started as a conference pre-pandemic…but quickly shifted into a faceted online provider of training, webinars, research, and more in the workplace mental health space. I’ve been working with their team to bring manager training, and all-employee training, to my agency in Spring 2022, and will also be part of their Champions Programme to be an advocate within my own organzation.

  • Workplace Mental Health Institute (WMHI)

    I spoke with Emi Golding, the Director of Psychology for WHMI, very early on in my program exploration. Her book, “Mental Wealth,” is also a great read for understanding how mental health and productivity are related. WHMI offers a variety of resources and training programs, including Mental Health First-Aid courses, which teach employees how to spot signs of distress, and point their colleagues in the direction of professional help.

  • NABS UK

    When a connection of mine in the UK told me about NABS, which stands for the National Advertising Benevolent Society, I was blown away. There’s an entire organization dedicated to providing mental, emotional, physical, career, and financial support to professionals in the advertising industry. There’s a lot to learn from them…which I fully plan on doing.

Others, like individual coaching, are available to anyone regardless of what their employer offers.

  • COA

    Coa is a great platform that offers a variety of trainings for “emotional fitness.” I’ve personally taken several of their Emotionally Fit Leadership classes (they also have specialized ones for female and BIPOC leaders), and the experience is quality. The classes are small, led by certified psychologists, and video participation is required. They also offer custom trainings for larger teams, so there are multiple ways to engage.
