September is 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 movement, 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:

Veterans, service members and their loved ones can reach the Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) by calling 988 and pressing 1, texting 838255 or chatting. You are not alone! Learn more about supporting your mental health or that of a loved one.
