Last week, SUN Behavioral Delaware’s Leadership Team took time to step away from our daily responsibilities to bond, team-build, and share some friendly (and competitive!) fun.
We know it takes a village to do what we do every day. That’s why we value every moment to strengthen the team behind the mission.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month, a time to shine a light on men’s mental wellness. Reports show that around 60% of men experience at least one traumatic event in their lives. Yet many never speak about it, and even fewer seek professional help. This month, we’re encouraging open conversations and promoting the importance of seeking help without shame.
