Pushing for better Mental Health Supports

I know too many people who have been unable to access mental health support within their community. Odten undiagnosed and shunned, waitlists are long and alternatives limited. These  people often fall victim to others who capitalize on their vulnerable situations because legitimate support isnt available when needed.  I personally know 3 such people when even 1 person is too many. 

I will be completing 2,000 push-ups  (or a combination of pushups and other weightbearing exercises) in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health. In preparation, Im already up to 40 pushups a day and hope to increase that number daily. Please support me as I #pushforbetter in February.
