I'm completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association in Thunder Bay.
I’m advocating for the Canadian Mental Health Association because mental health matters now more than ever. Raising awareness about mental health is important because, despite the advancements made in understanding and destigmatizing it, mental health still receives significantly less funding compared to physical health. It’s important to recognize that people facing mental health issues often require professional help and resources to navigate their struggles effectively. Untreated mental health issues can lead to physical illnesses, straining healthcare systems and impacting societal well-being. Prioritizing mental health is crucial for creating a healthier and safer society. Places like Thunder Bay, with limited resources, are in need of our assistance to ensure everyone has access to the help they deserve.
The medicine wheel, a symbol used by many Indigenous cultures, clearly shows that physical health and mental health are intricately linked. For example, physical well-being can impact mental health through factors like exercise, nutrition, and sleep, while mental health influences physical health through stress management, emotional regulation, and cognitive functioning.
If you’re keen on getting involved and championing better mental health, please donate to my push-up challenge. All proceeds help the Canadian Mental Health Association in Thunder Bay to support mental illness recovery and foster positive mental health outcomes in Canada.
