LIFT at NTT DATA

Our mission is to promote awareness of mental health, educate, eliminate stigma and build a comfortable community where individuals can interact to better their lives by sharing their stories.

We want to remind our community that:
You are not alone.
It is okay not to be okay.

With over 800 members worldwide, LIFT hopes to continue growing and meeting our goals!

What LIFT Does

We encourage members to participate in the Share Your Story Series, which can be anonymous or named, in person or online.
We host weekly meditation sessions, either in real time or via recorded podcast.
We send out uplifting messages to remind employees that they are not alone. These also take the form of UPLIFTS, images made to become computer backgrounds featuring inspiring messages.
Our monthly newsletter contains articles educating our members about mental health topics.
We cross-collaborate with other ERGs to spread the word about mental health and connect our employees.

Some of Our Latest Activities

We recently hosted a seminar on The Art of Patience. This seminar is available thru Catalys and employee participants can receive 1 hour of training credit upon completion.

At the end of each year, we focus on the topic How to Cope with the Holidays. The winter holidays may be a time of celebration, but they can also be a time of conflict and stress. Our ERG helps members manage their emotions during difficult times.

Our February 2023 meeting topic was How Pets Aid in Our Mental Health. Julia Rose, a licensed therapist, spoke to our group about how she uses animals in her practice, and how our individual pets are a benefit to us.
