Supporting the @biggiveorg #ChristmasChallenge Funds raised will support improving children and young people’s mental health. Mental health challenges can have a significant impact on various aspects of life, including academic performance and professional development. Supporting the next generation in the workplace is an investment in the future. By focusing on children and young people, you're not only addressing current issues but also laying the foundation for a healthier and more resilient future generation. #FeelWellWorkWell #MentalHealthAtWork #MentalWellBeingInTheWorkPlace

Taking on a challenge is good for your mental health and can push you to achieve beyond what you think is possible! That is why next month I’ll be walking 1.8 million steps (1084 miles) in 90 days to raise money for Diabetes UK . Here is a little video that I put together in preparation for the 1st July.

🌟 Giving Tuesday: Join Hands with Backpack Buddies ATL to Nourish Dreams 🌟 🍎 Why Your Help Matters? Every weekend, many children in our community face hunger. Backpack Buddies ATL steps in to fill this gap by providing nutritious meals. Your support can bring smiles and hope to these young lives. 💰 How Your Donation Makes an Impact: Just $180 can feed a child every weekend of the school year – that's less than $5 per weekend or about 75 cents per meal! Whether it's a one-time donation or a recurring contribution, every dollar counts. 🤝 Be a Part of the Change: Your donation is more than just a number; it's a lifeline for a child who needs it.

Eating disorders are pervasive and life-threatening. They are mental illnesses with often severe physical repercussions, and they have the potential to cause lifelong harm to a person of any age, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. Missouri Eating Disorders Association presents at schools in the Greater St. Louis region to educate the most vulnerable populations - our kids, tweens, and teenagers - on the signs and symptoms of eating disorders. The two main takeaways of the presentation? 1. How to ask for help for yourself or a friend ("tell a trusted adult!"), and 2. Recovery is possible. I believe so fully in the importance of this program and the incredible capabilities of the MOEDA team. Early education and prevention of eating disorders saves lives. The students we serve - and all kids - deserve full lives filled with the regular ups & downs that life undoubtedly brings. Together, we can fight eating disorders, strengthen our community, and work to change the narrative of diet culture. Today is GiveSTL Day. Please consider supporting MOEDA. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/gAvpTeNi

Investment in the future. A worthy endeavor.

It's time to stop storing unwanted items and claim back your home from clutter! 🏡 Getting rid of clutter may be a chore, but here are some of the benefits of letting go of your unnecessary items: ✅ Having an excess of things around you can be distracting and have a negative impact on your focus and productivity. ✅ People who sleep in cluttered rooms are more likely to develop sleeping problems and are at higher risk for developing hoarding disorder. ✅ Clutter has a profound effect on our mood and self-esteem. Clearing out those unwanted items can help improve your overall mood. Why not turn your old clothes into good deeds by donating them to one of our partnered charities.

Excited to have the opportunity to volunteer with RMHC. Research indicates supporting the entire family during a child’s critical illness can improve resilience, reduce stress and enhance wellbeing for several crucial reasons: ✅  Emotional Well-Being: A child’s illness affects the entire family - parents, siblings, and extended family members experience stress, anxiety, and fear. ✅  Practical Assistance: Supporting the whole family enables the sharing of responsibilities to alleviate the daily burden of families managing critical illnesses. ✅ Financial Strain: Community resources, counselling, and financial aid can ease the burden of medical expenses. ✅ Sibling Support: Emotional support for siblings of critically ill children can ease related disruption and anxiety. ✅ Parental Health: Support for parents to assist in the maintenance of their own physical and mental health can assist in the provision of better care. ✅ Family Dynamics: Critical illnesses strain family relationships. Open communication, counselling, and support groups can help maintain healthy dynamics and ease the strain on family relationships. ✅ Child’s Recovery: Improved positive health outcomes have been linked to the provision of a supportive family environment.
