Civic Health team to raise mental health awareness

Happy New Year! We're excited to kick off 2025 with renewed energy and new events!

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), youth in the United States are facing a mental health crisis, with symptoms of depression on the rise.

In response to this crisis, our Civic Health team is expanding its outreach to students, introducing exciting new initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of mindfulness and mental health. Team members Rapha, Karlita, and Layvin will be tabling at middle schools, high schools, and colleges to introduce an immersive sensory experience designed to help students de-stress and connect with mental health resources available.  

At our interactive stations, students can unwind with soothing aromatherapy using essential oils, relax to calming rain sounds, and discover a variety of tactile activities. As they explore our table, we'll highlight Soluna and BrightLife Kids — two amazing apps designed for young people ages 13-25, and for caretakers and families of children under 12, respectively. Both apps are free to use and require no insurance or referrals.
