Adam Nemer is shifting the topic of mental health in the workplace, equipping business leaders with simple tactics to address the mental wellbeing of their teams while improving employee retention, engagement, and productivity.

Adam was a CFO and Sr. Operations Executive at Kaiser Permanente for 20 years while also experiencing severe, yet undiagnosed depression and anxiety.

Fortunately, another Kaiser Executive noticed the signs that he might be struggling with his mental wellbeing, encouraged him to get help, and his entire life shifted.

As Adam progressed on his recovery journey, he came to the realization that most leaders don’t feel at ease approaching their workers 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 simply by normalizing the topic of mental health throughout his organization.

Inspired, Adam founded Simple Mental Health to educate leaders on the business case and inspire them on the human case to put mental health literacy in their leadership toolboxes, and to help them cascade the knowledge throughout their organizations
