As we close out Mental Health Awareness Month, we also marked the one-year anniversary of the loss of our founder’s son, Sam Aden, to suicide. The Sam Love & Kindness Fund was created in his honor to support youth mental health awareness and provide critical mental health support for children. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have successfully raised more than $360,000. The Get Grounded Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID# 46-5125610), proudly oversees Sam’s Fund and 100% of donations raised go directly toward supporting youth mental health programs. In the past year, we honored Sam and all other children struggling with their own mental health by: • Granting funds to seven organizations that dedicate their time to work with amazing kids and families like Sam who struggle to find peace. • Launching the annual “Random Acts of Sam-ness Day” – where more than 75 friends and family participated in spreading kindness in Colorado, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, California, Texas, Egypt, Copenhagen, Brazil and beyond! • Hitting the slopes at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area and raising over $10,000 during the inaugural “Sam's Day of Stoke." Those funds were gifted as a special grant to Mountain in My Mind, a film series about mental health in the mountain communities. • Distributing hundreds of hand-painted “Love & Kindness” garden sticks, designed by the talented Tiffany Lester, placed all over the world to remind people to choose kindness. Always. To learn more about The Sam Love & Kindness fund or to donate, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gMrrbSaY. If you know of someone struggling with their own mental health, reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 988 or text "START" to 741-741 where a trained specialist will respond. Together we can make a difference. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealth

Mental health is a vital aspect of our overall well-being, impacting how we think, feel, and interact with others. It's essential to prioritize self-care, seek support when needed, and foster open conversations about mental health challenges. Remember that it's okay to ask for help, whether through friends, family, or professionals, and that taking small steps toward managing stress and anxiety can lead to significant improvements. Let's create an environment where mental health is openly discussed and valued, reminding ourselves that we are not alone in this journey. At Cleveland Cable Company, we believe in giving back to the community and supporting causes that matter. This month, we’re proud to support the Headlight Project, an organisation dedicated to mental health support and suicide prevention. As we observe #InternationalCharityDay today and #WorldSuicidePreventionDay approaches, we encourage everyone to raise awareness and help break the stigma surrounding mental health. Together, we can create a brighter, safer future 💙 🔗 Learn more about how you can get involved and donate here: https://lnkd.in/ecStKvR3 #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Charity #SocialImpact #ClevelandCable

Supporting Mental Health Matters: Join Me in Making a Difference I'm excited to share that I've created a fundraising page for #NAMIWALKS to support NAMI Dane County, a fantastic organization dedicated to improving mental health and supporting those affected by mental illness. Mental health is a vital component of our overall well-being, yet it remains a topic that is often misunderstood or stigmatized. Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental illness each year, and many face barriers to accessing the care and support they need. This is where organizations like NAMI Dane County make an incredible impact. NAMI Dane County provides essential services including educational programs, support groups, and advocacy efforts to help individuals and families navigate the challenges of mental illness. Their work fosters understanding, reduces stigma, and offers a lifeline to those who need it most. Here's why your support is so crucial: ◾Raising Awareness: By supporting NAMIWALKS, we shine a light on mental health issues and contribute to breaking down the stigma surrounding them. ◾Providing Support: Your donations help fund vital programs and services that offer direct assistance to individuals and families affected by mental illness. ◾Making a Difference: Every step we take and every dollar we raise brings us closer to a community where mental health is prioritized, and everyone has access to the support they need. I invite you to join me in this important cause. Whether by donating, sharing this post, or participating in the walk, being held at Olin Park on October 5, at noon, your support can make a significant difference. Together, we can create a world where mental health is valued and those in need receive the compassion and resources they deserve. https://lnkd.in/gBeVjYJW Thank you for your support and commitment to this cause. #MentalHealth #NAMIWALKS #SupportNAMI #EndTheStigma #Fundraising #CommunitySupport #MentalIllnessAwareness

We couldn’t agree more with this NPC (New Philanthropy Capital) report: collaborating to understand the role of digital services and established interventions in supporting mental health is essential, and we’re thrilled that Best For You is featured as an example of cross-sector partnership. Best For You is run in partnership by Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, West London NHS Trust and CW+ and partners with over 75 other organisations to provide an innovative model of care that transforms young people’s experiences of accessing mental health support. The NPC report identifies areas for long-term positive change, including preventative work and early intervention. Best For You provides instant digital support for young people (including signposting), as well as bespoke offers for young people on NHS waiting lists. We’re also thrilled to work with Imperial College London to evaluate Best For You, including our digital resources for young people, to provide some of the much-needed evidence on the effectiveness of digital mental health interventions that’s highlighted in the report.

Good to see NPC covering such an important topic

Did you wake up today and feel like life is just not worth living? Well, I hope not. But just for a moment as you read that question, you might have glimpsed an insight into the dark world that many people suffering from mental health disorders can face on a daily basis. And unlike the physical health ups and downs that we all experience as a normal part of life, untreated mental health issues can spread like its inky blackness to all corners of a person's life for many years. There are many noble causes to champion, but it is the invisible and life long suffering that I have seen in good people with mental health issues that really concerns me, and especially young people in the complex world we have created for them to live in. I'd like to ask you to help me do something about it. This year is my fourth year leading a team of Port Melbourne legends in the Push Up Challenge. It's a simple thing (sort of). We each do one push up for every life lost to suicide last year over 24 days, and ask you to donate to the cause. Unfortunately that means each of us needs to do 3,249 push-ups, but we will get there! To donate go to my challenge page: https://lnkd.in/gpNeD8DP And of course, you will get a receipt to claim as your donation is tax deductible. My donations are going to Headspace. Even if you don't donate, thanks for reading this far and spending a moment focusing on mental health. Perhaps you know someone to ask RUOK.
