Adam Nemer

Adam Nemer is shifting the conversation surrounding mental health in the workplace, by equipping leaders and their teams with practical techniques that are having a tangible effect. He is helping organizations move from talking to doing, and truly making a difference in creating Stigma-Free Mental Health Zones.

Adam was a CFO and Sr. Operations senior leader at Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest healthcare organizations in America, who, for over 18 years, was one of those 20% who walk the halls of every organization struggling with mental health. For over 18 years, he struggled unknowingly with severe depression, anxiety, and panic. 

Fortunately, he had a compassionate boss who encouraged him to get help, and it changed his life.

As Adam progressed on his journey to recovery, he came to the realization that many leaders do not feel at ease approaching their workers, even when they observe them grappling with mental health challenges. So, he started to share his story, and quickly realized that he was making a difference in other people’s lives. But even as he saw his work creating an impact, he saw how prevalent the shame and stigma around mental health was and how much other organizations could benefit from mental health literacy.

So, he developed a comprehensive mental health leadership program to help other organizations develop stigma-free mental wellbeing cultures.

Because when your leaders know what struggles their employees are facing and how to help them, they not only create exponential improvement in employee satisfaction and retention (and achieve greater results), but they also change lives.
