Excellence In Black: Bevel Partners With Alkeme & More, To Provide 3-Months Of Free Mental Health & Wellness Services To Black Men
Today in Black Excellence, Walker and Company, the makers of the award-winning men's grooming brand Bevel, have announced the launch of its new mental health initiative titled 'Get Your Mind Right'.
As part of the 'Get Your Mind Right' initiative, Bevel has partnered with Alkeme, a Black-owned digital mental health platform, and is offering free 3-Month passes to Alkeme Health's Gold membership on www.getbevel.com/mindright.
If you know anything about me, you know I’m a supreme advocate for therapy, and this gives me a bit more ammunition to nudge my friends and followers to at least try it out, for free.
According to the press release:
National Institute on Minority Mental Health and Health Disparities, about one in five Americans struggle with a mental illness in any given year, regardless of their race. African-Americans are 20% more likely to develop a mental health illness in their lifetime and additionally, suicide is ranked as the third leading cause of death amongst African-Americans between the ages of 15 – 24 years old.
Listen, these results are troubling. I truly appreciate that Bevel recognizes the growing disparities between the needs and available resources for the Black community and is committed to making lasting changes.
In addition, Bevel is proud to support Black Men Heal (BMH), a non-profit organization on a mission to provide in-person mental health treatment and therapy, psycho-education, resources, and community to Black men nationwide. Black Men Heal subsidizes the cost of in-person and virtual therapy, in addition to providing countless mental health resources. In order to aid in this mission, Bevel is proud to raise funds for Black Men Heal through the sale of a limited-edition T-Shirt designed in partnership with MESS in a Bottle ( I LOVE them !). Exclusively available on GetBevel.com for $29.95, 100% of the proceeds for the T-Shirt will be donated to Black Men Heal to enable the organization to continue raising awareness and saving lives.
Now THAT is Black Excellence!
