As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who participated in our Wellness Through Connection Bingo Challenge. Throughout the month, we focused on one simple but powerful message: connection matters.
Together, we explored small ways to build connection into everyday life through acts of kindness, mutual aid, self-care, reaching out to others, attending events, spending time outside, and creating moments of support in our homes and community. We heard from so many of you about how fun the bingo challenge was and how it helped you reconnect, try new things, and be more intentional about your mental wellness.
Whether you completed a few squares, got a bingo, or filled the whole card, every act of connection mattered.
If you got bingo and haven’t let us know yet, there is still time! If you used a hard copy bingo card, you can notify us that you got bingo by using our Google Form: https://forms.gle/Edcp6Wwii3uF12j97. If you used an online card, just be sure that you’ve marked your squares and we’ll be able to see your bingo automatically on our database.
Everyone who lets us know by May 31 that they got bingo will be entered into our raffle prize drawing. If you win the raffle, we’ll let you know via email or phone.
As this month comes to an end, we hope these simple ways of connecting continue long after May. Send the text. Make the call. Ask for help. Offer support. Reach out. Because connection is one of the most powerful ways we care for ourselves and one another.
This campaign is brought to you through a community partnership between N.E.W. Mental Health Connection, NAMI Fox Valley, NEW HMong, People of Progression, Multicultural Coalition, Inc., and HMong American Partnership.
Thank you for helping us create a month full of compassion, community, and connection.
