Our educational programs initiate community conversation about issues affecting women and girls. Programs have included Breakfast with Melissa Atkins Wardy, author of “Redefining Girly,” and a showing of the documentary “Miss Representation,” which showed how media portrayals of women limit their leadership options and negatively affect young girls.
Our Fond du Lac Area Women’s Fund promotes its Health and Well-Being foundational pillar by hosting this free family-friendly Community Mental Health Challenge in May as part of Mental Health Awareness Month. The FDLA Women’s Fund supports a proactive approach to mental health, which begins in do-able increments.
The power of 20 minutes can significantly reduce negative symptoms and improve your overall well-being. Dedicating 20 minutes a day to your mental health has shown to improve your energy, reduce stress, promote the feel-good chemicals in the brain, and elevate overall mental wellness.
Join Today: Dedicate 20 minutes a day to be mentally healthy!
