Last week at the SourceAmerica XForce 2026 National Conference, Beacon Group accepted the Business Partnership Award on behalf of our longtime partner, Jim Click of Jim Click Auto. The award is given to a business or individual who has partnered with a nonprofit to increase employment opportunities for people with disabilities, and Jim Click exemplifies the spirit of this recognition.

He has partnered with Beacon Group for over 50 years, currently employing more than 40 workers with disabilities at his dealerships and creating employment opportunities for hundreds more over the years.

What makes this partnership especially meaningful is Mr. Click’s genuine commitment to the people he employs. He takes the time to build personal connections with Beacon employees and has created a culture of inclusion and respect at his dealerships.

We are so grateful for this partnership and proud to celebrate Mr. Click’s leadership and commitment to inclusive employment.

Mental health conditions can affect anyone. In fact, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are over 9x more likely to report experiencing anxiety or depression and experience significantly higher mental health symptom burden, according to a study in JAMA Network Open.
Economic instability, housing insecurity, unemployment, and limited access to healthcare can increase stress and worsen mental health conditions. All of these social determinants of health are ones that may be faced by people with disabilities and at Beacon we put a strong emphasis on compassion and understanding when providing support.

Serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression are medical conditions, not personal failures. Serious mental illness can substantially interfere with major life activities, including work, school, relationships, and self-care.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. With the theme of "See the Person. Support the Journey" we keep in mind that mental health is part of everyday life, shaping how we think, feel, connect with others, and move through the world.

Understanding mental illness leads to compassion. Mental health conditions are medical conditions and people living with them are more than a diagnosis. This , let’s lead with understanding. Learn more: samhsa.gov/mental-health
