In 2020, Modern Health conducted research and found more than half of U.S. adults experienced more stress and anxiety that year than at any other time in their lives. The combination of an unprecedented global pandemic, deep political divisions, and societal unrest has resulted in a global mental health crisis.
During these past few years, we’ve seen heroes take many forms, including HR professionals, who have stood up and prioritized the needs of employees as well as mental health care providers who in some cases have put the needs of their patients and clients before their own.
In response, Modern Health is excited to launch its inaugural Mental Health Heroes Industry Awards Program with media partner Quartz, which will honor individual HR professionals and licensed mental health care providers.
These extraordinary individuals went above and beyond in supporting mental health and deserve to be recognized for the impact they’ve made on their organizations and the communities they serve.
Modern Health will honor the standout leaders in the HR and benefits space that spearheaded initiatives and programs that created a healthier, happier and more inclusive environment for employees. These individuals have built a strong company culture helping to destigmatize mental health support within their workplaces through continued dialogue, attention and action.
The pandemic reminded us of the invaluable work of health care professionals, while also exposing the limitations of health care systems and the limited number of mental health care providers. This dichotomy has put enormous pressure on mental health care providers, who are also undoubtedly managing their own mental health.
Modern Health aims to recognize those mental health care providers that have gone above and beyond to help their patients and colleagues. This includes the practice-focused contributions they’ve made to impact specific communities and the general field of mental health.
Winners will be selected by a panel of licensed mental health care professionals and HR leaders. This year’s selection panel is:
Licensed Psychologist and Founder of The Black Girl Doctor
Director of Global Benefits &
Well-being at Zendesk
Licensed Psychologist and Global Clinical DEIB Manager at Modern Health
Licensed Psychologist and Vice President of Clinical Strategy & Research at Modern Health
Fine print: The decisions of the selection panel is final. The panel reserves the right to not award a winner in any category.
In addition, the winner of each category will have $500 donated to their mental health non-profit organization of choice on behalf of Modern Health.
Winners and honorees of both categories will be featured in Quartz, the program’s media partner, and will receive a digital award badge.
