As we honor Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we at Schrödinger embrace the opportunity to reaffirm our dedication to the holistic wellbeing of our employees. In a world where mental health concerns are increasingly prevalent, fostering a supportive workplace culture is crucial.
At Schrödinger, we recognize that mental health is not just a topic for discussion one month out of the year — it’s an ongoing priority. Our commitment extends beyond acknowledgment. We believe in taking proactive steps to support our employees in navigating their mental health journeys throughout the year.
Employee Wellbeing at the Heart of Our Mission
Our company’s culture is deeply rooted in the understanding that a healthy workforce is a productive and fulfilled one. When our employees thrive, so does our organization. Therefore, we have implemented a range of initiatives and resources to support corporate mental wellness.
Introducing: Healthy Minds Alliance
Healthy Minds Alliance at Schrödinger is an Employee Resource Group dedicated to harnessing our best selves, developing proactive and reactive mental wellness resources, and fostering a sense of belonging for minds of all kinds.

Beyond Awareness: Taking Action
While raising awareness is undoubtedly important, we believe that action speaks louder than words. That’s why our commitment to mental health goes beyond simply acknowledging its importance. At Schrödinger, all employees have access to mental health resources through a leading provider, including therapy, guided coaching, and self-care strategies to navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. We actively promote a culture of openness and understanding where employees feel empowered to prioritize their mental wellbeing without fear of stigma or judgment.
