About Us

Robert Dunlop

Robert Dunlop is the CEO and founder of Wellness Heroes Inc.

Robert is a licensed professional engineer with a huge passion and talent for marketing.

Robert wants to create a movement with Wellness Heroes not only as a highly respected and reputable marketing company that promotes only the healthiest products and services but also to celebrate and recognize people who are “Wellness Heroes”. A “Wellness Hero is anyone that goes beyond the call of duty to help others” as defined and created by Robert Dunlop.

Robert likes to lead by example. Since 2010, Robert has used his passion to help those with mental health challenges to build his registered charity: Mental Health Support Network” (see mentalhealthsupoortnetwork.org) to over 30 volunteers and over 3000 members. The charity inspires hope and builds skills that save lives through group peer support, creates jobs and hosts social events that break down deadly isolation within the mental health community.

Robert wants to see Wellness Heroes create a positive ripple effect in local communities and globally. This can be accomplished by nominating someone you know to become a “Wellness Hero”, and sharing “Wellness Heroes Acts of Kindness” on social media, thus inspiring more people to become a “Wellness Hero”. Wellness Heroes are recognized at the annual Wellness Heroes gala event with every nominated Wellness Hero celebrated on stage and the top three Wellness Heroes as voted by the public recognized with engraved Wellness Heroes plaques.
