The managing director of asset management at WealthStone, Inc., Brian Stertzer oversees all aspects of portfolio management, including tactical and strategic asset allocation. An active member of his community outside of work, Brian Stertzer supports the Hilton Head Island Rotary Club in South Carolina. Since 1974, the Hilton Head Island Rotary Club has worked to create productive, healthy communities. In addition to its many local programs, the organization supports numerous international programs, including The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG). Rotary Clubs have been providing funding to SADAG for several years and help the mental health organization address one of South Africa’s largest problems: youth suicide. The largest mental health support and advocacy NGO in Africa, SADAG is responsible for running a widely recognized school program focused on suicide prevention. Through this program, counselors visit schools in South Africa and meet with students in their classrooms. Students listen to presentations from these counselors and are given the chance to ask questions about depression and suicide. Participating students then receive a wristband with a helpline number, and the school receives a supply of books that reinforce the education provided by the counselors. Although this suicide prevention program is run at a minimal cost, SADAG relies on sponsorships and donations to continue operating since the government keeps cutting mental health program funding.
