Bayhealth team supports mental health and well-being

More than 50 Bayhealth team members recently took part in the Kickin’ the Stigma Out of Mental Illness kickball tournament. All proceeds benefit the Mental Health Association in Delaware.

“On Oct. 20, the MHA held its second annual Kickin’ the Stigma Out of Mental Health, a kickball tournament led by our outstanding volunteers Marissa Bennici and Keely Arndt. We were blessed with the most beautiful autumn day, filled with sunshine, colorful leaves [and] enthusiasm. ... We are proud to announce that this event raised over $3,500 (three times as much as our first event last year) to promote improved mental well-being for all individuals and their families in Delaware through education, support and advocacy. We’ve grown from 36 players to 106 who registered for the tournament! May we continue to grow together in our ability to kick the stigma,” said Roberta Fishgold, MHA development manager. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that approximately one in five teens and one in 25 adults in the U.S. are living with mental health conditions.
