RENO, NV (FEB 23, 2026) – PBS Reno is proud to announce Emily Moore, PBS Reno Human Resources Generalist, has earned a Workplace Mental Health Ally Certificate.

Developed by Psych Hub in collaboration with SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) and the SHRM Foundation, the Workplace Mental Health Ally Certificate is a self-paced certificate experience that helps users understand key mental health concepts and respond appropriately in the workplace. Participants gain practical knowledge across five high-impact modules: Mental Health Foundations, Suicide Behavior & Safety Planning, Effective Communication, Diversity & Bias, and Substance Use Disorders.

“As part of an organization dedicated to informing and uplifting our community, I believe that support and education should start within our own walls,” said Moore. “Mental health matters everywhere and no one should have to struggle in silence, especially at work where we spend so much of our time. Earning my Workplace Mental Health Ally Certificate is a commitment to creating a space where conversations about mental health are met with understanding, support, and real access to resources. Destigmatizing mental health is an ongoing path that starts with brave conversations, and I am honored to be someone who my colleagues feel comfortable to turn to and to help foster a workplace where mental health is treated with the same respect, care, and urgency as physical health.”


Upon completing eight courses online and earning her certification on February 16, 2026, Moore is equipped with the confidence, language, and tools to:

  • Recognize common mental health challenges in the workplace
  • Understand safe response strategies and communication practices
  • Explore the intersection of mental health, bias, and inclusion
  • Apply techniques to address substance use and crisis situations
  • Access shareable resources for your team or organization


“We are very proud of Emily and congratulate her for earning this professional certification, which will benefit all of our team members at PBS Reno,” said Kurt Mische, PBS Reno President & CEO. “We work continuously to improve our work environment because that positive environment allows us to serve our region that much more effectively.”
