Tara Adams, Owner, Abridge Consulting Inc.
Tara is the owner of Abridge Consulting Inc. specializing in workplace wellbeing,
workplace mental health and workplace suicide prevention. Abridge clients are organizations
and teams who are ready to invest in their people, culture, and bottom line.
“I founded Abridge based on a simple, but not easy, goal – to get more people, more help,
sooner. I believe we can all learn how to be a bridge between people with declining mental
health and getting them the support, they need and deserve.”
With a strong background in learning and facilitation and a passion for workplace mental
health, Tara spent several years as a Corporate Wellness Manager. During that time, she
championed workplace mental health and employee total health for 6,000 employees by
building enterprise-wide strategies for mental, physical, emotional, and financial wellness.
The results of her workplace mental health training program were closely measured and
outperformed similar organizations across Canada positioning her as an industry leader in
workplace mental health.
Tara calls herself a “relatable” role model who does the best she can to invest in her own
mental, physical and sleep health but like most of us, she knows she can always do more.
Tara is a busy working mom of two, is a semi-competitive tennis player and has big plans to
conquer the amateur masters tennis tour someday.
