Project Healthy Minds

“We’re listening, we’re learning, and we’re sharing.” — Vincent Tizzio, CEO of AXIS (AXIS Capital), in conversation with our Founder & CEO, Phillip Schermer. A new AXIS (AXIS Capital) / The Harris Poll reveals that nearly 9 in 10 insurance professionals see widespread stress and anxiety across the industry. Mental health in the workplace isn’t just important — it’s essential. We’re having the conversations that matter — about how companies can better support employee mental health with real tools, thoughtful programs, and a culture of care.

We are deeply grateful to the intrepid Peter Tunney, a longtime and generous friend of Project Healthy Minds, for his ongoing openness about his journey with mental health and sobriety. With immense kindness, Peter welcomed us into his beautifully curated Tribeca studio for an unforgettable evening centered around mental health awareness, art, and community. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us as we begin our journey toward World Mental Health Day on October 10.

Project Healthy Minds Founder & CEO Phillip Schermer joined the Milken Institute’s Executive Insights series to discuss how employers can move beyond check-the-box mental health solutions and build real resilience across teams and communities. A powerful conversation on why whole-person health isn’t a trend—it’s a necessity. Check out the interview below.

Nearly 9 in 10 (88%) people who work in the insurance industry acknowledge widespread stress and anxiety in the industry. About 8 in 10 (77%) insurance employees mention seeking mental health support for themselves in the past year.

This National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating our roots 🌱 Project Healthy Minds began as a small group of passionate millennials, volunteering their spare time in the midst of COVID, united by one mission: to change the way the world thinks about mental health. From weekend Zoom calls and group outings, to hand-stuffing 1,000 gift bags, we always remember that heart-led spirit has always been the fuel behind our work. What started as a grassroots effort quickly grew into something much bigger—an expansive, purpose-driven community of full-time team members, board members, advisors, brand and corporate partners, volunteers, and advocates who all believe deeply in our mission. 💚 To the early believers, and to every single person who’s joined the movement along the way—thank you. You’ve helped turn a weekend passion project into a nationwide force for change. And we’re just getting started. 🙌🚀 Interested in getting involved? Contact [email protected] #nationalvolunteerweek

Welcome, Matt! We’re honored to have you join our Board of Directors and deeply value the expertise you bring as we work together to shape the future of mental health.

We're thrilled to announce that Matt Fischer, Former Head of Global App Store at Apple, is joining the Project Healthy Minds Board of Directors! Fischer is a visionary leader with over 25 years of experience at the intersection of technology, media, and entertainment. Before his retirement from Apple last year, he spent over 21 years at the company, where most recently he served as a Vice President overseeing its global App Store business. His responsibilities included managing the App Stores for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, and Apple’s game subscription service, Apple Arcade. Under his leadership, the App Store reached over one billion customers worldwide, with developers generating over $1 trillion in total billings and sales in the App Store ecosystem annually. Prior to his App Store role, he led U.S. marketing and partnerships for iTunes at Apple, and was previously head of marketing at Napster. “Over the past 25 years in the tech industry—including more than two decades at Apple—I’ve seen how digital platforms can transform lives in powerful ways,” said Fischer. “I’m honored to bring that experience to an organization that’s breaking down barriers to mental healthcare, especially for younger generations. As a father, I see firsthand the stress and anxiety today’s youth are navigating.” He continued, “I’m deeply invested in their future and passionate about creating solutions that meet them where they are. Project Healthy Minds is doing just that—delivering accessible, intuitive, and stigma-free tools to support mental wellness. I’m proud to help advance their mission and expand access to care for those who need it most.” See full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eHk-cKQD
