The Saints All-Pro is giving back to the communities that influenced his life and career.
Saints All-Pro/Pro Bowl Safety JT Gray has announced the creation of his mental health initiative, Mental Mindset. A fundraising campaign for mental health services in the three cities that have been significant in JT's life: his hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and Starkville, Mississippi, where he attended Mississippi State University, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
“I know that everybody goes through something at some point in their life, and there should always be a helping hand,” JT said. Feb 4, 2022; Las Vegas, NV, USA; New Orleans Saints safety J.T.

JT was inspired to start the initiative after seeing people in his community struggling with mental health issues and unable to get the care they need. The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that nearly 50% of Mississippians and Louisianans who needed mental health care but did not receive it cited cost as the reason. The hope is that Mental Mindset will help normalize seeking mental health care, especially in rural communities.
