This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Huntsman Mental Health Foundation raises funds and awareness to transform how the world treats and supports mental health. As the fundraising arm for Huntsman Mental Health Institute, it expands research, care and services to those who need them. President, Miranda Barnard, joins us with more.
Miranda Barnard:
Most Americans believe we’re in a mental health crisis. One in every two people will qualify for a mental health diagnosis in their lifetime, but just 2 percent of philanthropic dollars go to mental health causes.
Huntsman Mental Health Foundation is working to change that – and we’re making it easier than ever for Utahns to work together to make the biggest difference for our community. Every leader and team member of every company in our state will have employees, customers, neighbors, family and friends who will struggle with mental health.
And today, suicide remains a leading cause of death among Utah youth. Nobody – especially a child — should die from a mental health issue. But these statistics are not just alarming – they are a call to action.
Join us at Huntsman Mental Health Foundation. We’re partnering with Utah businesses to transform the way mental health is treated, cared for and researched forever.
Derek Miller:
Huntsman Mental Health Foundation continues to lead a statewide call to action, uniting businesses and communities to transform mental health care, research and outcomes. Get involved at HuntsmanMentalHealthFoundation.org. I’m Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
