The Tennessee Titans strive to make an impact on the city of Nashville and its underserved populations. Their ONE Community platform has three pillars: Opportunity (focusing on businesses), Neighborhoods, and Education.
This week, the Tennessee Titans Foundation, in collaboration with The Cheadcode Foundation, announced a new mental health initiative as part of the “Neighborhoods” platform.
The Victory Over Stigma initiative will provide Trauma-Informed Therapy to underserved communities in Nashville, and it will provide training programs to equip healthcare and community workers with trauma-informed training to better assist the communities they serve.
A note from Dr. Armando Gonzales, the CEO and Founder of Cheatcode Foundation, appears on the website:
We are in the midst of a mental health crisis, and it will only be solved through collaboration, partnership, and leadership at local and national levels. Access to transformational mental health experiences should be a basic human right for all. Through leadership from the Tennessee Titans, we now have the opportunity to provide the same trauma-informed care we offer to Titans players directly to underserved communities in North and East Nashville. This is true community leadership in action.
This initiative focuses on communities in North and East Nashville and aims to expand access to positive mental health experiences.
Mental health has long been a human condition, although we are just beginning to understand all of the ways those conditions affect the brain and body. Understanding that mental health affects all humans, regardless of race, gender, or geographic location, is the first step to finding adequate solutions.
Bringing those solutions to the populations that need them most is a major step forward in mental health advocacy, and that’s exactly what this initiative does.
