As Mental Health Awareness Month begins, it’s time to discuss the significance of pitching in and how it can genuinely impact lives. According to the Cleveland Clinic, extending a helping hand isn’t merely a kind gesture—it’s beneficial for both our mental and physical well-being. Whether it’s through volunteering, initiating a fundraiser, or donating to a cause, the rewards are manifold. Not only can it reduce blood pressure and elevate self-esteem, but it can also alleviate feelings of depression and stress, ultimately contributing to a longer, healthier life. And let’s not forget that warm, fuzzy feeling—the sense of fulfillment that comes with knowing you’ve made a tangible difference. That’s your brain’s way of saying thank you!

So, how can you get involved in this year’s campaign? Look no further than the Lift Your Wellness Fundraiser, designed to support Mental Health Awareness through a unique fitness initiative.

Join us for a special workout fundraiser hosted by LIFT Performance, aimed at supporting Mental Health Connecticut’s Let’s Face It campaign.
