3rd Annual One Mind at Work Global Forum: Transforming Workplace Mental Health
The 3rd Annual One Mind at Work Global Forum, held September 11–12, 2019 in Napa Valley, California, was themed “Roadmap to Transforming Workplace Mental Health.” Experts from research, healthcare, government, and business discussed how employers can drive change across the mental health landscape.
Highlights included:
- Patrick Kennedy’s keynote calling on the business community to lead on access to care and supportive work environments
- A panel with Dr. Tom Insel and former Texas House Speaker Joe Straus on how California and Texas made mental health a statewide priority
- Paul Baffico’s personal story of combat trauma, addiction, and recovery, shared at a dinner at the Staglin Family Vineyard
- Findings from a Woman’s Day/Good Housekeeping Institute survey on caregiving, stress, and the mental health of working women
Other panels covered new research, employers as healthcare purchasers, addiction, digital health tools, the global mental health movement, and the role of media in reducing stigma. The 2019 Salus Awards honored Bank of America and Craig Kramer of Johnson & Johnson, the first recipient of the individual award. The summary closes with the One Mind at Work Charter and its eight commitments.
