Because these issues are complex and diverse, they require more than a lump-sum contribution. This year, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation made a $25 million commitment to youth mental health in America, paired with a strategy that hopes to tackle this issue in new and innovative ways. "Mental health has been used traditionally to say someone has a mental health challenge. But, like physical health, we all have mental health," Elizabeth Brown, managing director of Mental Health and Well-being at AMBFF told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It's on a continuum. Sometimes you're in crisis and you need clinical support, or sometimes you're doing OK."
