Reimagining Mental Health In The Workplace

Health Equity Quest 2024

2024 Loyola Chicago Health Equity Quest

Mental Health Innovations for Early Career Professionals
Live Pitch: November 14

The mental health of early career professionals is a critical issue that significantly impacts individual well-being and overall organizational productivity. These emerging professionals, often at a pivotal stage in their lives, face unique challenges, such as high stress, workplace pressure and the transition from academic to professional environments. Making this transition even more daunting is the inequitable access to mental health support with disparities based on socioeconomic status, race, gender and other factors.

On November 14, join us either in-person at MATTER or virtually to hear pitches from the finalists who will pitch to a panel of industry leaders for a chance to win cash prizes.

At the end of the event, Loyola University Chicago and MATTER will announce the judges’ pick for the winner.

Following the program, there will be a reception with light appetizers and beverages.
