Launched in 2023, the One Mind Accelerator backs visionary founders of early-stage startups with the network, education, and capital to rapidly build category-defining companies that improve the lives of people living with mental illness. Using seed investment of $100,000 per company, One Mind leverages its vast network of world-class investors, founders, operators, scientists, payers, providers, policymakers, and lived experience advocates to accelerate the cohort’s path to startup success. By supporting emerging companies through the program, One Mind seeks to positively impact the lives of people facing mental health challenges by advancing precision psychiatry, and making high quality mental healthcare more accessible, affordable, and equitable. Since the inception of the program, One Mind has offered more than 100 workshops and panels, equivalent to 300 hours of programming, over 300+ hours of 1:1 mentorship, and connected founders to over 450 people in the One Mind network, including 30+ top investors in the healthcare industry.

The Mental Health at Work Index is a first-of-its-kind assessment tool that provides objective feedback on the maturity of an organization’s pre-existing workplace mental health programs. The Index enables companies to establish a baseline maturity of their mental health programs, identifies priority areas that will accelerate the impact of their efforts, and provides evidence-based resources and guidance to support more strategic and efficient use of resources for improved outcomes. Beyond the broader goal of improving workplace mental health, the index aims to build a robust database which can provide benchmarks and powerful insights to support organizations across industries, geographies. Since launch, organizations including Bank of America, AXA, Aon, HCA Healthcare, and nearly 50 more – representing over 2 million workers globally – have now used the Index to measure their workplace mental health efforts, which is available in 7 different languages.

About One Mind™

Launched in 1995 by Shari and Garen Staglin as their means to “run toward the problem” of their son’s schizophrenia diagnosis, One Mind is today a leading mental health non-profit that heals lives by direct support for neuropsychiatric brain research. By convening the brightest minds in brain science and advocacy around a collective vision of “Accelerating Brain Health for All,” One Mind is advancing a three-pronged program strategy of accelerating discoveries, improving services, and transforming culture.

As an arm of One Mind, One Mind at Work is a global coalition of organizations committed to the development and implementation of a gold standard for workplace mental health and well-being. With most of the world’s population spending one-third of their adult lives at work, employers have a tremendous opportunity to improve quality of life for all people and play a critical role in driving mental health solutions.
