Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital technology and services provider, announced its participation as a premier sponsor in the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago's 6x6 Breakfast series focused on providing practical and innovative strategies to improve mental health education. The series invites parents, educators and the business community to join expert speakers as they focus on various aspects of adolescent mental health.

As the primary sponsor for the event, the collaboration with the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago and Chicago Public Schools to address the diverse challenges faced by today's youth, highlights Alight's continued dedication to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion and supporting mental health within the community.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), youth in the U.S. are experiencing a mental health crisis, and schools can play an important role in helping reverse trends. Each session in the 6x6 Breakfast series features an expert speaker who will share valuable insights, strategies and resources to support the mental wellbeing of adolescents.

"Alight is committed to standing with the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago in this important work to empower the communities we serve and prioritize mental health," said Dave Guilmette, CEO at Alight. "Efforts made collectively-by our community, schools, and society at large-will help create a better tomorrow for future generations."

The first event in the series takes place on September 26 with topics covering:

  • Communication: The Bridge in Metal Health Dialogues
  • Resilience: Rising Above in a Rapidly Changing World
  • Emotional Intelligence: The Youth Advantage
  • Motivation: Igniting Minds Amidst Mental Health Struggles
  • Developmental Insights: Understanding the Adolescent Mind
  • Trauma-Informed Approaches: Guiding Youth Through Life's Storms

"We're proud to partner with the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago on the 6x6 Breakfast Series," said Xan Daniels, Vice President of Inclusion and Diversity at Alight.
