Unfortunately, just another cash grabbing startup disguising itself as "someone who care" - Mental Health Amaze Health Employee Review

One of the people on the team was unable to attend the initial meeting with the CEO David Silverstein. They had to do a presentation about mental health at an elementary school or something. This was brought up at the start of the meeting, and the CEO responded with something to the equivalent of, “I don’t know why people go to elementary schools to talk about mental health..at that point you’re creating the problem”. Most professionals that have worked with children, youth, and families or even some people who have experienced or witnessed trauma at a young age could point out why this statement is problematic. Add to the fact of him speaking about someone while they aren’t present to defend themselves and in a tone that reflects opposition to what they’re doing. Add to the fact the very clientele of the company consists of elementary age children receiving care. His actions were inappropriate. Next, the communication is below expectation. You may go to training for one thing, be told something different from someone in the position you’re training for, then be told something different from the supervisor of the position you’re training for, all for the CEO to have a different expectation from all of the above. It's an extremely confusing and unnecessarily stressful work environment because you never know if you’re doing something right or wrong and when you ask they will just say “you’re doing an amazing job, this stuff takes time”. Finally, someone in leadership disclosed that the CEO made a financial decision to hire employees prior to actually having the funds to pay these employees, and when the funds didn’t come he just let them go. No heads up or anything, it was a decision that took immediate effect and left employees without jobs Those employees were told, “it’s literally the companies bad”, and were forced to move on with limited closure and transparency other than that. To speak on the diversity of the company it is extremely lacking. Majority of leadership positions are white or white passing, and the number of Black, Indegenious, People of Color is EXTREMELY lacking. To the point of bias and lack of awareness being accepted as a norm of the organization. For individuals who identify or align with something other than the standard of whiteness I strongly encourage you to NOT work for this company. For those that decide to work with this company, best of luck to you. I hope this review helps.
