Opening the conversation through baseball
Major League Baseball alumni, local first responders, and Master Sgt. Rebecca Anderson, 775th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Flight section chief, participate in a mental health resilience panel during the "In the Open" event at the Salt Lake Bees Ballpark in South Jordan, Utah, June 13, 2026. The 90-minute roundtable discussion provided a close-knit forum for participants to share personal experiences regarding post-deployment transition, performing under pressure, and the importance of destigmatizing mental health in high-stress professions.
