Empowering ERGs with Mental Health Resources

"What do organizations mean when they say ERGs are employee-led but company-supported? It’s more than just a budget or a pay bump for ERG leads. True support means focusing on the mental health of ERG members and addressing the gaps in resources that often miss those on the margins. We help bridge that gap while preventing burnout in your DEI team and ERG leads."

— Dr. Will Osei, Founder & Chief Executive Officer at OtherKind

Step 1: Understanding ERG Needs

We begin by understanding the unique needs and challenges of your ERGs. Our team conducts a thorough assessment to tailor our support specifically to each group's needs.

  • ERG Consultation: A deep dive into each ERG's specific challenges and goals.

  • Needs Analysis: Identifying mental health needs specific to the group’s demographic and cultural background.

  • Customized Support Plan: Development of a targeted support plan that aligns with the objectives of each ERG.

Step 2:
Tailored Session Design for ERGs

Our experts design sessions that directly address the unique mental health challenges faced by each ERG, ensuring that every session is relevant, inclusive, and effective.

  • Clinically Informed Content: Sessions are crafted by professionals with clinical training, ensuring that each ERG receives expert care.

Led by clinicians with experience in supporting diverse groups, our sessions provide ERGs with the tools they need to support their members effectively. We guide each group through strategies to manage stress, build resilience, and enhance overall well-being.

Step 4:
Continuous Monitoring and Support for ERGs

Our support doesn’t end with the sessions. We offer ongoing monitoring and follow-up to ensure that each ERG continues to thrive. Our team works closely with ERG leaders to assess progress and make necessary adjustments.

  • Impact Assessment: Regular check-ins and evaluations to measure the effectiveness of the sessions and support.
