In March, Embrace officially collaborated with the New England Revolution in their Mental Health Awareness Initiative to highlight the importance of destigmatizing the perceptions around mental health.
In preparation for this collaboration, the Embrace staff attended the Revolution Mental Health Awareness match on April 6th and had the pleasure of watching them win against the Charlotte FC. In addition, staff from the office had the opportunity to represent Embrace in the Fan Zone which provided fans the chance to learn about Embrace’s services, mission, and multiculturalism.
Looking ahead, Embrace is excited to explore more collaboration opportunities throughout the year. Some of these events will include Brazilian Heritage night on June 8th, participating in mental health panels, a soccer clinic and a panel discussion organized by the Revolution Academy coaches and players on mental health in sports for the youth in our school-based program.
A big shout out to Marcella Iacovone, Talita Giulietti and Cara Riddell for all of their hard work on making this happen!!
