Weekends are a great catalyst for shifting your focus to doing what you love and spending time with good people. For us, that means chasing tenths of a second on the leaderboard, missing orange cones by inches, and figuring out where we can improve on the next run.
 
But it’s about more than that. It’s about showing up for people who are here for the same reasons, all of us testing our abilities in a supportive environment, and creating space to talk about mental health. No matter what you drive, you are one of us. And no matter what you are going through, there’s a place for you here, too.

October 10 is “World Mental Health Day.”

Your mind needs maintenance, too. Check in with yourself, check on your friends, pay attention to what warning lights might be flashing for you and what you can to do address them. You’re not alone.

We hope these messages resonate with you and remind you that your mental health deserves care, attention, and conversation. Check in. 💛🧠🗣️

Today, September 8th, is 988 Day. Sometimes, the hardest part is making the first move. If you were someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Help start the conversation and keep it going. ❤️

September is Su***de Prevention Month, a time to slow down, look out for one another, and make room for conversations that can be difficult to start.

We believe community is about more than what brings us together. It’s about being there for each other too.

Please take time this month to check on friends and family, reach out, and remind others they’re not alone.

We also want to share a few organizations doing important work in mental health and su***de prevention: The American Foundation for Su***de Prevention AFSP offers su***de prevention resources, educational programs, and support for those affected by su***de. NAMI NAMI / National Alliance on Mental Illness at UNC Charlotte provides mental health information, support, and resources for individuals and families—including its nationwide Help Line. Mental Health America Mental Health America offers free, confidential mental health screening tools alongside medication and resources to better understand their mental health and find support.

Together, we can end stigmas around mental health and raise awareness about resources for mental health while empowering our communities.

Team Wheelhouse’s “Sign the Hood” campaign is a simple reminder of what community looks like. It was remarkable to see so many names on the hood of the Porsche at the CCR SCCA event on August 15th. We hope when you see others names alongside yours, you remember how important it is to be there for each other and acknowledge the challenges around mental health.

Although temps exceeded 100ºF on track all day, turnout was just as strong for CCR SCCA’s Saturday autocross event at Michelin’s Laurens Proving Grounds with nearly 100 drivers from throughout the region. There was a wide variety of drivers and cars across numerous racing classes, including everything from a Toyota Prius Hybrid to purpose-built track-ready performance machines. This community showed up in a big way by not only setting impressive lap times, but also by supporting our mental health awareness conversations...veterans, parents, young adults, volunteers, and first-time drivers. At Team Wheelhouse, we’re grateful for the connections and support that comes from a supportive club and community, and many of you approached us to share your own journies and supportive messages, and ways in which you’ve touched your own communities for the better. Thank you for showing up on Saturday. It truly would not have been successful without your participation. You are not alone, and together we can change the stigma around mental health. ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻🚗💨 #988

What’s stopping you from starting your mental health journey?
Fear of judgment. Not knowing where to begin. Thinking you should be able to handle it alone.
We’ve heard every reason, and we’ve felt most of them ourselves. Counseling isn’t weakness. It’s maintenance for the most important machine you own.
