The Center for Workplace Mental Health, formally the Partnership, was established as an initiative of the American Psychiatric Association Foundation in 2002. "The new name reflects the growth in our work with employers over the last decade, and helps articulate the diverse range in activities we engage in - from programs employers can implement at their companies, to collaborations with employer organizations, to resources and tools to help drive change in how mental health is addressed at the workplace," said American Psychiatric Association Foundation executive director Daniel Gillison, Jr.
The Center for Workplace Mental Health exists to help employers advance mental health within their work environment and establish a culture that is supportive and inclusive for their employees.
The Center's resources include:
