WHAT: Wednesday Wellness Night

 

WHEN: Wednesday, May 13 from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

WHERE:  2421 Main St, Buffalo, NY 14214 

 

WHY: May is Mental health awareness month, which is signified by a green ribbon.  Some 1 in 5 adults will meet criteria to be diagnosed with a mental health condition in their lifetime. Many adults go without seeking treatment or care because of the stigma associated with the disease.   

 

Promoting mental health and wellness is key to a well-balanced lifestyle. Together, we can reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and mental illness^[1] by providing the community with access to resources^[2] and support.    

 

For questions, please call 716-982-0540, extension 0.  To register for the event, please go to: https://digital.1199seiu.org/BuffaloWellness
