It's another "Who Will You Move For?" Wednesday!

Every Wednesday until the Move for Every 1 Road Race on April 12, we will share stories from our community. This Wednesday, we feature Justin, Denise, and Michelle.

Everyone knows someone who has experienced a mental health or substance use challenge. Reaching out for help is an important first step. The Mental Health Resource Center can provide guidance and resources to get started. And for emergencies, people can call or text 988 for the su***de and crisis lifeline. No one is alone.

Welcome to "Who Will You Move For?" Wednesday!

Every Wednesday until the Move for Every 1 Road Race on April 12, we will share stories from our community. We know that 1 in 5 adults will experience a mental health challenge in their lifetime. The impact of mental health and substance use challenges stretches beyond that. Let's share stories and reduce stigma so that more people can find help, strength, and recovery.

This Wednesday, we feature Cam, Emily, Marcella, and Shannon. Read their stories. Share their stories. And maybe write your own! Email Marcella at mmicillo@gileadcs.org to share your story.

Did you know that Gilead provides new sneakers for every client that commits to participating in the Move for Every 1 Road Race?

A $500 donation helps to sponsor an entire Gilead program, like Anchorage Hom, providing:
🏁Registrations for the race
👕Who Will You Move For? t-shirts
👟New pairs of sneakers
🏅Participation incentives

Sponsoring a program helps uplift the individuals we serve, and raise awareness about the ways mental health impacts our community.

We are still looking for 11 program sponsorships.
Can we count you in?
Please visit our website to sponsor a program: https://gileadcs.org/news-events/road-race/sponsor-a-program/

We see our own TCI trainers! Great job Anne, Shanleigh, Jess, and Pete for attending and engaging with this work.

Kelly and Kirra got to spend two days in Warwick, RI for the first national offering of our Complex Needs and Neurodiversity update! This big group of trainers really engaged the material and had some really fantastic discussions. Great work everyone!

Looking to make a difference?
We’ve got an opportunity for you to help a Gilead client in our upcoming Move for Every 1 Road Race.

Last year, more than 50 clients came out to walk – surrounded by 300+ staff, family and friends and community members. By sponsoring a client or sponsoring a program, you can directly make an impact!

Sponsoring a client helps provide a client with:
🏁Registration
👕a Who Will You Move For t-shirt
👟a new pair of sneakers
🏅participation incentives

Sponsoring a program provides all that for an entire program!

Participating in this day alongside friends, family, and community members means so much to the individuals we serve. Don't just take our word for it!

We are looking for 50 client sponsorships and 13 program sponsors.
Can we count you in?

Visit https://gileadcs.org/news-events/road-race/ to learn sponsorship opportunities. And don't forget that the Move For Every 1 Road Race is on Sunday, April 12!
