We all need a mental health toolkit—whether that includes trusted individuals, therapy, support groups, or clinicians. Your toolkit might also include medication, and did you know you can work with your clinician to better predict how you’ll respond to certain medications? This optional testing can be done through pharmacogenomic testing.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay lululemon created a playground to remind adults that play can lead to improved mood and better stress management. Our CEO Dan Gillison, Jr. joined NAMI Ambassador and lululemon Ambassador Kendall Toole, as well as lululemon Ambassadors Ryan Leier and Coffey on the stage to not only discuss, but demonstrate that movement and connection are two important ways to positively impact wellbeing! This powerful panel discussion was moderated by Anne Wintroub at lululemon in NYC!
