BCBSA Underwriter Perspective Session: Trauma, Children and America’s Mental Health Crisis
Date: Friday, June 23
Time: 10:20-11:10 a.m. MT
Today’s kids are facing a mental health crisis unlike any before them, with rates of severe loneliness, anxiety, and depressive episodes reaching new heights. It’s an urgent concern with far-reaching impacts, especially for those in historically marginalized communities who too often do not have access to the help they need. How can organizations leverage their scale to make sure every child can access the resources they need? Blue Cross Blue Shield Association president and CEO Kim Keck and Boys and Girls Clubs of America president and CEO Jim Clark come together to discuss ways organizations can support children’s mental health.
Moderator: Solome Tibebu, CEO of Going Digital
