"I recently attended Central Minds' training session on leading with empathy in the workplace by Dr. Sharmeen, and it was a great experience! The session was not only insightful but also incredibly practical. Dr. Sharmeen expertly combined theory with real-world applications, making it easy to understand and implement the strategies discussed. I left feeling empowered and equipped with the tools to foster a more compassionate and productive work environment. I highly recommend Central Minds for anyone looking to enhance their leadership skills for their organizations."

"As a non-profit organisation serving a vulnerable community in Hong Kong, our team has always been passionate about our mission. Yet, navigating the unique challenges of the non-profit sector can be hard, coupled with the stressors of the pandemic, which is what led us to establishing our EAP with Central Minds. We've seen many of our team go for sessions with Central Minds, with the counsellors being professional, empathetic and knowledgeable, providing a safe space. Our team has reported feeling better equipped to face challenges, and that they have been provided the necessary resources and skills to practice better self-care. Many have felt that the therapists have provided tools and preventative measures to help reframe their mindsets and manage their stress.

The team at Central Minds has been great to work with and we've found it easy to schedule sessions at times that suit us. I have also personally noticed the positive impact on our team's overall mental health - being more resilient, better at managing stress, and being able to continue serving our community without burning out. I would highly recommend this to other organisations looking for an EAP to support their staff. Thank you to the entire team at Central Minds!"

“On April 14th, The Women’s Foundation’s Mentoring Programme 2021-22 cohort had the amazing opportunity to be part of an insightful Mental Health session led by Dr. Sharmeen Shroff and Dr. Zoe Fortune from Central Minds. Our participants learned about some practical tools to support our mental health, especially given these challenging times in Hong Kong. We were reminded of the importance of talking about mental health and ended the session with a much needed breathing exercise. Thank you so much Sharmeen, Zoe and Central Minds for sharing your time and expertise with us.”

“This is to thank your organization, Central Minds, for organizing the “Leading with Empathy” workshop for our senior leadership team members. I particularly appreciate the sincerity and effectiveness of this workshop.

In times like this, it is increasingly important to Lead with Empathy. Your workshop has been an important trigger for each one of us to reconsider our leadership styles. The suggestions by Bhavna Bharvani, the facilitator, provided us with actionable next steps.

We hope to scale this to our next level of managers shortly. Wish you all the best for what you’re doing on this very important topic for the society.”

“To celebrate World Mental Health Day, we organized a seminar on 13 October to raise awareness for mental health conditions and help employees understand what they can do to help themselves and their colleagues to improve their mental health.

We reached out to Central Minds due to their extensive knowledge and experience in mental health. Plus, they had substantial experience working with other corporate clients on delivering customized training catered to their employees’ needs.

Their professionalism and understanding of the topic really impressed us. We greatly appreciated their efficiency and effort and would recommend Central Minds to any other company looking to offer training to employees on how to support and protect their mental wellbeing.”

Participants from the workshop walked away armed with knowledge and practical tips on how to better take care of employees’ mental health, and the skills needed to bring conversations about mental health to the forefront.

Thank you once again to the team at Central Minds in supporting our company in maintaining a healthy workplace culture! We are dedicated to continuously integrating mental health best practices into the everyday work life of our adm community.

“As a leading global business we are extremely aware of how crucial the mental wellbeing of our employees is but also recognised that this is an area where we require expert guidance and support. It was important for us to partner with a provider who could offer extensive knowledge and experience to support us in developing a long term sustainable strategy and maintaining a healthy workplace culture.

We have been extremely impressed with the professional services provided by Central Minds, they have understood our objectives, created and delivered bespoke training which has brought mental health back to the forefront. The therapists delivered the training sessions in a way that really puts participants at ease, they share their knowledge and experience and our employees particularly found the interactive aspects and breakout groups very useful.

I would not hesitate to recommend Central Minds to any other company who is looking to support and protect their employees’ mental wellbeing and I look forward to working with them further. ”
