At the Y, we are committed to supporting the mental health of all by providing opportunities to connect, educate, and collaborate in order to improve the mental wellbeing of our community.
The Y focuses on healthy living in mind, body, and spirit, which includes mental health.
Mental health is how we THINK, FEEL, and ACT.
What can the Y do to support your mental health?
● Every time you work out, your body releases chemicals that help increase happiness and reduce stress.
● Every time you get to know someone at the Y, you are building your sense of connection.
● Giving back to the community enhances your sense of purpose.
