Mental health needs are diverse, and in fact the mental health crisis is incredibly complex, with 1 in 5 adults experiencing some form of mental illness each year. Our partners and customers experience it firsthand every day – in their personal lives, in their stores, and in the neighborhoods we serve. 

At an event we held in September for store managers and field leaders from the U.S. and Canada, we laid out our commitment by declaring that at Starbucks,&nbsp;<strong>mental health matters</strong>. As our chief partner officer, Lucy Helm said, “Together, we’re on a mission <strong>to take a stand, help break the stigma, and get even more partners and their family the support they need.”</strong>

Our work ahead will continue to be rooted in listening, learning and taking bold actions. 

Mental health is a fundamental part of our humanity. We have so much more opportunity ahead, and with each step, we want to ensure that every partner, in every store, feels supported and knows how and where to seek help for themselves and others.
