Project Healthy Minds

PHM confronts the mental health crisis by challenging attitudes about mental health and helping people easily access support. Leveraging the power of influential celebrities and technology, and making mental wellness a priority for workplaces and all of society, Project Healthy Minds makes it possible for young people to find support easier, faster, and without shame. PHM’s visionary leadership and approach is meeting young people where they are to meet their mental health needs.

“In a time of unprecedented trauma and social isolation, there has never been a more urgent moment to confront the mental health crisis. That’s why the Project Healthy Minds approach is so urgently needed: we cannot address long-standing problems with outdated thinking. Project Healthy Minds brings a modern toolkit to a fight that will be a defining issue for our generation.

PHM is building technology to expand access to mental health services in America — rooting our work in an interdisciplinary ethos that marries together healthcare, technology, business, and cultural expertise.

Getting Lisa’s backing early on played a critical role in our development and ability to build an unprecedented coalition of leaders working on this new approach to addressing the mental health crisis. Lisa is one of the most dynamic, forward-thinking, and courageous civic leaders I have ever had the chance to work with in my career. She is both an idealist and a visionary at heart: she understands the world as it is, but fights for how it ought to be nonetheless — promoting bold new ideas that will shape the next generation. I’m lucky to count Lisa as a mentor, a friend, and a partner fighting for a more equitable future.”
