We plan to distribute 400 free toolkits to coordinators
within each organization that will participate in our Mental Health Awareness
Week. This turn-key toolkit is meant to inspire the group and select activities
that work best for them throughout the week, no matter where people are. We collaborated
with our talented Easterseals Michigan clinical staff, amazing community supporters,
and health partners to put together a top-quality toolkit that includes a
powerful resource guide and self-care items. In our resource guide, we plan
to include information in the following areas: mental health/self-care, physical
activity/preventive care, healthy eating, social wellness, power of giving back,
and financial wellness. We plan to distribute these boxes throughout the
month of April, into May, as well as electronically share the resource guide. This
will be a great way to give back to those that are still struggling as we head
into the third year of COVID-19 with a message of hope for a brighter future.
