Mental health and well-being is a core pillar of CBI Health’s integrated approach to healthcare. It is important to have open, honest conversations about mental... health, and to start these conversations early. To help with these conversations about mental health in youth, we are proud to support Buddy Check for Jesse, a program that encourages coaches to talk with their teams about ending the stigmas surrounding mental health. This year the program has expanded to include all coached sports, all-year-round, all across the country. While some sports are currently on hold due to the pandemic, if you know a youth in organized sports, please make their coach and/or manager aware of this program. You can find conversation guides and support materials as a free download on their website: https://bit.ly/2HLHknp
