🌟 Call for Nominations: Honoring Mental Health Heroes 🌟
Do you know someone who is breaking barriers in mental health, leading with compassion, or fostering a workplace culture that prioritizes well-being? We want to celebrate them!
We are now accepting nominations for the following awards, to be presented at Inspiring Hope 2025 on October 2, 2025
🏅 Inclusive Mental Health Advocate Award
This award honors an individual who champions mental health equity by fostering environments where all people—regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or cultural background—feel seen, heard, and valued. The recipient actively breaks down barriers, amplifies marginalized voices, and ensures that mental health support is inclusive and accessible to all. Through advocacy, education, and action, they embody the belief that mental wellness is a right, not a privilege.
💜 Compassion Award
This award celebrates an individual who exemplifies unwavering kindness, empathy, and dedication to supporting others on their mental health journey. Whether offering direct support, advocating for change, or caring behind the scenes, this person consistently creates a safe, nurturing space for healing. Their presence brings comfort, their words bring hope, and their actions reflect a deep commitment to emotional well-being.
💼 Mental Health Champion Employer Award
This award recognizes an organization or leader who prioritizes mental wellness in the workplace. The honoree goes beyond policy to foster a culture of empathy, inclusion, and support—reducing stigma, promoting work-life balance, and ensuring mental health resources are accessible and encouraged. They lead by example, showing that when employees are cared for and empowered, everyone thrives.
