Event Supports Youth Mental Health and Recovery
The “Dink It Forward for BHI” tournament is a fundraiser for Behavioral Health Innovators, a non-profit group helping young people on Cape Cod and the Islands. BHI provides the Alternative Peer Group (APG) Program, which operates at two locations in Falmouth and Dennis.
The organization also works with 13 schools across Cape Cod and the Islands, offering support through its Positive Alternatives for Student Support (PASS) Programs for high school and middle school students in Barnstable.
Programs Help Students Across the Region
BHI’s APG Program offers a safe, supportive space where youth can connect with peers who face similar challenges. The PASS Programs work closely with schools to provide positive options and support for students struggling with mental health and substance use issues. Funds raised from the pickleball tournament will help BHI continue and expand these vital services for local youth.
This event highlights the growing role of community activities like pickleball in raising awareness and support for mental health. It also shows how sports can bring people together for important causes, benefiting youth and families across Cape Cod.
