Did you know July is #MinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth? Studies show that people from racial and ethnic minority groups can face additional barriers in accessing mental health care. High costs, inadequate health insurance, cultural stigma, and difficulty finding a provider from their ethnic or racial group all be challenges in getting services. Want to use your skills to help address some of these barriers? Wellness Wings Foundation is a nonprofit offering comprehensive mental health support for unaccompanied minors, refugee children, and other vulnerable youth in Austin, Texas. They are looking for a HR professional to help revamp their existing employee handbook and help draft new policies.

Last Tuesday, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana participated in Preaux Bono Day, an event in collaboration with Taproot Foundation, dedicated to supporting our local nonprofits. This initiative brought together our talented Team Blue volunteers to offer targeted support and expertise in the areas of marketing, strategy, HR and IT. The nonprofits we had the privilege of working with included Foster the Love Louisiana, Launch, Blossom, STEM NOLA, Dress for Success Shreveport-Bossier and Volunteer Louisiana. Through this event, we aimed to provide an opportunity for nonprofits to discuss a challenge, brainstorm new opportunities and receive tactical and strategic support. It was an inspiring day filled with collaboration, innovation and shared commitment to making a positive difference in our community.

I'm so proud of the partnership between Taproot Foundation and Johnson & Johnson. These results are an incredible testament to thoughtful scaling: "Between 2018 and 2023, Talent for Healthy Communities grew to include 109 Partner Organizations and 591 J&J employees in 23 countries. These employees donated approximately 34,000 hours of SBV service, valued at over $6.5M*. In addition, 82% of employee participants shared that participating in TFHC increased their motivation to perform in their work, and 85% reported increased job satisfaction because of the program."
In 2018, Taproot partnered with Johnson & Johnson to pilot Talent for Healthy Communities, a skills-based volunteering program that connects J&J employees with community-based partner organizations working to advance health equity. Seven years in, Talent for Healthy Communities has engaged partners in 23 countries across 6 continents in this impactful and culturally relevant program. Today we are proud to release a new report, "Impact at Scale: A Blueprint for Global Skills-Based Volunteering," a framework and guide for other multinational corporations looking to broaden their volunteerism efforts. We hope that the report will inspire other companies to leverage the skills of their workforce to drive meaningful change for organizations on the ground across the globe.

At NBCUniversal, giving back is more than what we do – it’s who we are. Last month, NBCUnites, our companywide volunteer initiative, teamed up with our nonprofit partners to make a difference together. 💜 36 of our colleagues partnered with the Taproot Foundation for a pro bono consulting event, sharing their expertise in marketing, branding, project management and communications with eight NYC nonprofits. 💜140 NYC-based colleagues made over 350 Pride bracelets, which were distributed to local youth through The Door - A Center of Alternatives. 💜 We held our second annual Creative Impact Lab Workshop where NBCU volunteers joined 48 professionals from nonprofit organizations and creative agencies for a one-day intensive training. Our volunteers and partners developed mentorship and storytelling skills, attended panels and discussions led by media professionals and engaged in collaborative brainstorming activities.
