Workplace Mental Health Collaborative
Interested in learning more about joining the Collaborative in 2024? Reach out to our Workplace Mental Health Manager Alayna Auerbach at aauerbach@naminyc.org and share the informational brochure with your team.
NAMI-NYC’s Workplace Mental Health Collaborative connects and supports organizations committed to promoting employee wellbeing and mental health.
We have been so successful the past two years, we’re expanding! Join organizations leading the way by:
- Prioritizing good mental health by learning about best organizational policies and practices and sharing real-world experiences through Steering Committee meetings.
- Educating and increasing resilience skills for employees through NAMI-NYC’s evidence-based and externally-validated training curriculum, Beyond Burnout.
- Reducing stigma towards mental health challenges by publicly acknowledging and supporting the importance of mental health in workplaces and greater communities.
We support you to facilitate change at both the organizational and individual level:
Meetings for Steering Committee
Trainings for Employees
- You assign one to three representatives to join monthly virtual one-hour meetings. Representatives are from HR, Ben., DEI, L&D, and ERGs.
- Content and discussion is based on U.S. Surgeon General’s Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being.
- Access research, tools and resources to inform best practices.
- Implement specific, tactical workplace recommendations.
- Network, share your story, and learn how organizations approach issues.
- Your employees can access five evidence-based, one-hour virtual trainings.
- Focus areas include workplace mental health, resilience, managing stressors, coping, positive psychology, and burnout. Trainings teach employees to integrate workplace skills in a strengths-based approach.
- NYU Silver School of Social Work’s external evaluation found significant increase in knowledge and attitudes of resilience and workplace mental health, use of coping strategies, and experiences of positive emotions.
“Through the Collaborative, we’ve discovered unique approaches to mental health support and innovative tools and resources. This diversity of perspectives has enriched our discussions and encouraged us to think outside the box.”
