( MENAFN - ACCESSWIRE) DAVIE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 31, 2024 / Mental health awareness is a cornerstone of BHG Financial's values. As Mental Health Awareness Month draws to a close, it is essential to acknowledge that one in five U.S.
adults experiences mental illness each year, and nearly one in six youth aged 6-17 faces a mental health disorder. The urgency for awareness and support cannot be overstated. BHG financial has long been committed to supporting its employees' mental health journeys.
Extending its efforts to the broader community, BHG has partnered with leading organizations in the mental health field. The company believes that fostering open and public conversations about mental health can help eradicate stigma and encourage individuals to seek help. This spring, BHG hosted a groundbreaking mental health panel with the Kevin Love Fund, founded by five-time NBA All-Star Kevin Love.
This non-profit organization aims to break the stigma around mental health and ensure individuals receive the support they need. The panel, featuring Kevin Love and BHG's CEO & Co-founder Albert Crawford, and moderated by President Tyler Crawford, discussed performing under high-pressure environments, whether on the court or in the boardroom. "Embracing mental health awareness is not just about understanding our own struggles; it is about empowering each other to break the silence and seek support to pave the way for a healthier society.
I value opportunities like this where we can have.
