Spreading kindness and making a positive impact on those around you contribute to your mental wellbeing by providing a sense of purpose. Here are some opportunities to make a positive impact on your community: 

• Volunteer for activities like serving at a local shelter or organizing donation drives.
• Know how to support those around you who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. Get certified in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) to learn how to recognize signs and symptoms and be prepared to help when a mental health challenge or crisis happens. You can #BeTheDifference in someone’s recovery journey. Learn more about becoming a Mental Health First Aider.
