Help the people working to improve mental health do their best work.

WHY WE EXIST

Fighting the good fight.

Mental health needs change. Today, people are suffering, and what we're doing to help them isn't good enough. We need better ways to prevent and treat mental illness. New models of care. New ways to fund them. New technologies, organisations, policies and approaches we haven't thought of yet.

That change will come from a group of passionate, courageous people who take on this challenge. Hemingway exists for those people.

Our job is to help them do this difficult, important work. To give them useful information. To introduce them to people who can help. To be a hand on their back as they struggle up the hill, and a word of encouragement when they need it most.

We take a broad view. Technology can help. So can better care models, science, policy, financing, organisations and communities. We're agnostic about the mechanism. We care about what works.

FOUNDER

Steve Duke

Steve has spent his career building and growing businesses, first at McKinsey and then in two unicorn startups.

When he was eleven, he had OCD. With the right treatment, caring clinicians and supportive parents, he got better. He never forgot what it was like, or that recovery is possible.

He started The Hemingway Report to bring those two things together: what he knows and what he cares about.

Take the work seriously

Behind the funding rounds and policy debates, real people are suffering. We want to understand what works, then help more of it happen.

Tell the truth

We follow evidence and change our minds when the facts change. We separate what we know from what we suspect.

Be brave

We investigate uncomfortable questions, challenge assumptions and back people attempting things that might fail.

Be kind

The people we support get tired and doubt themselves. So do we. We assume benign intent and choose the kind action.
