Esports organization Cloud9, which runs several esports teams for games such as League of Legends and Fortnite, has teamed up with managed healthcare company Kaiser Permanente.
They want to improve mental health in the U.S. gaming community. A campaign is set to increase mental health awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage teens and young adults to prioritize their well-being.
Presence of Mind is one of Kaiser Permanente’s many efforts to help build a stronger mental and emotional foundation across the nation.
Key components of the initiative will include mental health training for Cloud9 players and staff and the first phase will kick off in May 2020 with Cloud9’s League of Legends team.
