Mental health affects every single one of us — whether personally or through someone we love. Yet so often it isn’t talked about enough. World Mental Health Day is about changing that. It’s about pausing to care for ourselves, support each other, and break the stigma through connection and community. 🧡

That’s why we’re gathering at the ocean’s edge — to move, breathe, and share together:

Bring a towel. Bring a friend. Most of all, bring an open heart. 🧡

Together, we’ll honor this day with movement, mindfulness, and the healing power of the ocean. 🌊

🌊🏄‍♀️Buon Viaggio, Brooks! 🏄‍♀️🌊

Before she paddles out into her next big adventure, let’s gather to celebrate our Waves for Women Junior Co-Leader (and daughter of our Executive Director!)- the amazing Brooks Wetmore! She’s off to Italy for her gap year and then on to Tulane, and we couldn’t be prouder. 💙

📍 Where: Rita’s Seaside Grill – Back Porch (reserved tables + our own server!)
📅 When: Sunday, September 21st
⏰ Time: 4:00–6:00 PM

Come hang loose with the W4W crew—order some food & drinks, swap stories, and send Brooks off with waves of love, laughter, and good vibes. 🌍✈️🌊

No gifts, just good energy and community stoke. Let’s give her a sendoff that feels like catching the perfect wave! 🤙
