The Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health has awarded Halifax-based Kyle Moore the 2026 Champion of Workplace Mental Health Award for his work supporting the mental health and well-being of young entrepreneurs.

Moore is Head of Mental Health Programming at the League of Innovators, a  free Canadian community and founder accelerator supporting entrepreneurs under 30.

Since joining LOI in 2023, Moore has worked to address a gap he saw in the support available to young founders: they were taught how to build and grow companies, but their mental health was often not part of the conversation. He created Edge, LOI’s health and performance program. Delivered with GreenShield, the program gives young leaders access to professional mental health support. Backed by a research partnership with WellIntel, it’s now a promising new initiative on mental health support for founders, the awarding group said in a press release.

“His work shows how mental health can be built into the workplace from the beginning, rather than addressed only when someone is struggling,” said Anthony Esposti, CAMIMH Co-Chair.

Moore’s work is based on lived experience as he suffers from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. After a second suicide crisis at age 21, he launched Life’s a Wreck, a Canadian mental health podcast that swiftly became popular. Alongside a variety of guests, he examines the issues around mental illness, mental health and recovery.

Moore will be recognized at the 2026 Champions of Mental Health Awards on October 20 at the Sir John A. Macdonald Building in Ottawa.
