1 Hour of Self-Care!

We at Ignite are trying to social engineer self-care into people's daily routines through 2019 Mental Health Activity Hour. Keep myself accountable by donating to my page :) Feel free to make your own page and engage in one hour of self-care yourself! For me, I love to dance, go to yoga, or meditate to destress and ensure mental wellness. Mental Health is something very close to my heart, and I have been privileged enough to work for Ignite Mental Health this summer. I am very passionate about what we are doing, and I hope you will join me in transforming mental health!

Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death for people aged 10 - 34?  Or that the majority of those who desperately need help, who are usually in the darkest of places are unable to receive it?

Have you ever thought about your own family members or friends, who are likely in need of support but won't or can't get it? 

I'm not usually one to do fundraisers, but this is different. The epidemic..... the suicides...... the avoidable and harrowing suffering so many of our family and friends wrestle with privately has reached a tipping point and frankly, enough is enough. As a community we can, and we must do more to help those who need it the most. This isn't about mental health, but standing up for what's right.

My ask to you is simple....... I've personally invited you to help, please don't read this and sit on the sidelines. Take the first step, join me and others throughout our community in the fight to end the epidemic by clicking to donate to help a non-profit which is leading the way and tackling the problem on the front lines.

To help, simply hit the red 'Donate Now!' button on the right, less than a minute later you'll be done. You also get donation receipt (donation to a non-profit) which may come in useful during tax season!

Thank you, truly.
