Mental Health Week kicks off today 💚

This week is about coming together as a community to recognize that mental health is part of all of our lives. In the RMWB, we know the strength of our community and this week is a chance to lean into that by supporting one another, having honest conversations, and showing up with compassion.

You might see events, resources, and conversations happening throughout the region. We encourage you to take part in whatever feels right for you whether that’s attending something, learning more, or simply checking in with someone you care about.

We are so proud to be part of a community that continues to break down stigma and prioritize mental wellness. Let’s start the week by showing up for each other 💚
