Find Out What's Happening at the Y
Suicide Prevention Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and we want to remind our Y family: your mental health is just as important as your physical health. They're connected--and taking care of one supports the other. Regular movements, whether it's a walk, a swim or a group fitness class, has been shown to help ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. It's not a cure-all, but it's one powerful tool alongside professional support.
If you or someone you love is struggling, help is always available. Call, text or chat 988--it's FREE and CONFIDENTIAL. Help is available 24/7. You are not alone.
