Friend,

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

In a time when many of our normal routines have been disrupted, mental health is of utmost importance.

Anna, the kids, and I have been working to maintain our mental health by going on daily walks, staying in touch with family and friends through phone and video calls, and trying to be more considerate of ourselves and others.

Physical distancing, while critical for public health, can aggravate mental health issues. While we may be physically distanced from our loved ones, I encourage everyone to try to stay socially connected through virtual methods.

Below are several helpful resources during this difficult time:

If you or a loved one are dealing with suicidal thoughts, you can reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org or 1-800-273-8255.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness has curated resources to address the unique challenges at the intersection of COVID-19 and mental health. You can access that information in English or Spanish here.

If you are concerned about a friend or family member, click here to read more about warning signs, providing positive support, and self-care.

We’ll get through this together. Thanks for doing your part.

Be well,

Josh

We hope that this email finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy.

Given these changes, our digital fundraising has become even more important. While we understand that not everyone will be able to support the campaign during this difficult time, we hope that those of you who are able will chip in.
