This week marks Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW)! 🧠

This week honors and acknowledges the impact of mental health on individuals with mental illness and the impact of mental illness in relation to communities. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) advocated that the first week of October is dedicated to observing mental illness. The purpose of is to destigmatize anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia as well as encouraging people with these symptoms to seek support and screening. Mental illness should be treated the same way a cold or an injury should be treated, with gentle care and time.

The Men's Wellness Workshop is a staple within the Brooklyn Clubhouse. In the workshop, male-identifying Members are able to process feelings, and get vulnerable in a safe space with community. Through discussion topics and open discourse, the Men's Wellness Movement destigmatizes the innate sensitivity in men. The group recently reached 50 consecutive meetings and have no intention of breaking the record.

Join us on Tuesdays from 1:00-2:00 PM in the conference room to witness the magic!
