The right employee benefits make BIPOC mental health a priority

Benefit leaders have a responsibility to provide accessible and effective options, and are in the position to do so, says Abinue Fortingo, principal population health consultant at insurance and risk management firm Brown & Brown.

“We know that minority communities face significant challenges accessing mental health treatment, with stigma also serving as a barrier,” Fortingo says. “Ensuring that those communities gain that access remains a priority and it’s something leaders should be working to solve for.”
