“We have a service program for people who seek psychological help. We provide services through the university with which we have an agreement,” says Gabrich.
“We are also concerned with seeking sponsorships not only in sports or with influencers, but also in the social area. We have a large sponsorship with Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte, the largest SUS hospital in Minas Gerais,” he adds.
