September is Su***de Prevention Month, a reminder that mental health is an important part of our overall well-being.​ 🫶

A simple check-in, ​offering a listening ear​, or letting someone know they’re not alone can make a meaningful difference. This month and every month, let’s continue making conversations about mental health more normal, ​open, and compassionate.

If you or someone you know needs support, the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7​ by call or text.

​Mental health is how we think, feel, and act. We all have mental health! 💜

How do you create a welcoming environment for everyone? During our final few days of Welcoming Week, try the following:

👋 Introduce yourself to someone new and start a conversation
☕ Invite a Y friend to grab coffee after class
❤️ Check in on someone you haven't seen at the Y lately
🙌 Thank a staff member or volunteer who makes you feel welcome

Because everyone deserves to feel like they belong.

Our roots shape us. Our cultures connect us. ❤️

As we continue celebrating Welcoming Week, yesterday also marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month! From September 15–October 15, we celebrate the Hispanic and Latino traditions, stories, and people that strengthen our communities.

At the Y, Welcoming Week is all about bringing neighbors together, learning from one another, and creating a place where everyone feels like they belong.

Here’s to celebrating the cultures that make our communities stronger! 🙌
