Second Summer charity ride supports many non-profit organizations on Cape Cod, and this year Behavioral Health Innovators (BHI) is one of them. It's the organization's first year doing the ride (and my first time riding).
Michelle and I are riding in memory of our son Patrick. Patrick passed away in 2018 after a hard fought stuggle with addiction at age 27. We're riding with BHI as the organization and it's programs are helping teens and young adults just like Patrick every day. The money I raise will go directly to BHI.
A little more about Behavioral Health Innovators https://bhinnov.org/
Behavioral Health Innovators (BHI) is a Cape Cod based nonprofit that provides a continuum of programs from prevention through recovery for teens and young adults living with substance use and mental health challenges. BHI’s work includes education and outreach grounded in harm reduction, with a focus on compassionate engagement and meeting individuals where they are. The organization also offers prevention and early intervention programming through PASS (Positive Alternatives for Student Support). PASS partners with schools across Cape Cod to offer an alternative to suspension while also providing ongoing support for students identified as experiencing mental health and/or substance use challenges. Within treatment and recovery, Behavioral Health Innovators offers Cape Teens Rising, a community based after school program that provides structured peer support and recovery oriented activities for teens on Cape Cod navigating substance use challenges.
