Hagan Health is dedicated to advancing mental health awareness and advocacy, especially for youth. We proudly partner with “24 Reasons,” a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded by Trey Moses, who created this organization in memory of his friend and teammate, Zach. After Zach’s tragic death by suicide, Trey continued his career wearing Zach’s number, 24, as a tribute to him and as a commitment to help young athletes face mental health challenges without shame. Through “24 Reasons,” Trey aims to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and encourages open discussion, especially among student-athletes.
Our collaboration with “24 Reasons” led to the “Be the Reason” Celebrity Basketball Game, held on June 20, 2024. This inspiring event gathered athletes, community leaders, and mental health advocates to honor individuals who may struggle in silence. The “Be the Reason” game served as more than just a sporting event; it was a rallying call to action, using sports as a platform to reach young athletes and the community with a powerful message of empathy, support, and resilience. By engaging well-known athletes and leaders, the event encouraged youth to prioritize their mental wellness, seek support, and feel empowered to talk about their mental health.
The “Be the Reason” game promoted the idea that each of us can “be the reason” someone feels supported, understood, and less alone. For both participants and fans, this event was a chance to make a difference in someone’s mental health journey. Together, Hagan Health and “24 Reasons” aim to inspire young people to openly discuss mental health and seek help without fear. Standing with Trey Moses and “24 Reasons,” Hagan Health is honored to be part of the movement to end mental health stigma and to support mental health advocacy.
At Hagan Health, we recognize the importance of community engagement, particularly in reaching student-athletes and young people. Our partnership with “24 Reasons” underscores our commitment to youth mental health and exemplifies our belief in fostering change through awareness initiatives. Raising mental health awareness in youth is essential for creating a more compassionate and supportive society. Many young people face mental health challenges but may hesitate to seek help due to stigma or fear of judgment. By normalizing mental health conversations and promoting acceptance, we can encourage young people to seek support early, which is vital for healthier, more resilient individuals.
Building this kind of supportive culture allows youth to feel secure and empowered to ask for help, breaking down barriers of stigma and leading to more open communication and understanding. Together, we are working toward a community that supports healing and growth through advocacy and awareness.
