A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS

And it is not just people who went to war, are homeless, or dealing with addiction issues…it’s even become a very big issue with men that get paid A LOT OF MONEY to play a game that they love. Check out an excerpt from a recent article on a growing mental health crisis in THE NBA:

For NBA commissioner Adam Silver, supporting players and their mental health is an ongoing initiative.
“When I meet with them, what surprises me is that they’re truly unhappy,’’ Silver told The Ringer’s Bill Simmons during an hour-long panel discussion at the 13th annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference on Friday afternoon. “A lot of these young men are generally unhappy.’’
While fans might presume players are hanging out and devising ambitious plans so that they can play on the same team, Silver stressed that’s hardly the case.
“I think it’s less calculated than a lot of people think,’’ he said. “The reality is that most don’t want to play together. There’s enormous jealousy amongst our players.’’
 
In his observations and meetings with players, Silver said he has discovered there are pervasive feelings of loneliness and melancholy across the league. Citing six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls as a paragon, he said he no longer sees the high level of camaraderie or team-building that once existed in previous years.

The bold/underlined emphasis is mine and the reason the world needs YOU as a group home entrepreneur. In mine and many professional opinions backed by studies, one of the main reasons for the growing mental health crisis is lack of “Community” or “Camaraderie” or “Team Building” as the article mentioned. In this day of social media where everyone is connected DIGITALLY I believe we lack many of the traditional ways humans used to bond and this contributes to the growing depression epidemic.
Couple this with issues like homelessness, drug addiction, PTSD from war or traumatic childhoods etc. and you can see how the demand for Group Homes is growing. At the bare minimum, many of these folks need affordable housing so they can get back on their feet, but you can also provide a structured environment for like minded people going through similar struggles together.
