Here at BBQ Outlets, we believe the health and wellness of our staff, customers, and partners, is vitally important to our successful operation. We especially like to encourage our employees to take care of their mental health, and have previously donated a percentage of our profits to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to show our support for their cause.

Here are some resources that we shared with our employees during Mental Illness Awareness Week 2021 that we'd like to share with you. We hope to bring awareness to the importance of mental health and show that even something seemingly unrelated like grilling can affect your outlook!

If you are struggling with your mental health, we encourage you to seek help. We hope that through being open about the importance of mental health, we can help to break down the stigma so that those who struggle are more likely to find the help they need.
