Something to look out for when concerned that a person may be suicidal is a change in behavior or the presence of entirely new behaviors.

These signs are of sharpest concern if the new or changed behavior is related to a painful event, loss, or change. Most people who take their lives exhibit one or more warning signs, either through what they say or what they do. Pay attention and listen.

Studies have found that taking a walk through nature produces measurable benefits for your mental health and may even reduce the risk of depression. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, found that participants who walked for 90 minutes in a natural area showed decreased activity in the region of the brain associated with depression when compared to people who walked in a high-traffic urban setting.

Thank You for Making Key Clubhouse’s Mental Heal

Thank You for Making Key Clubhouse’s Mental Health Luncheon a Success.

This past Sunday, Key Clubhouse welcomed over 200 guests to our annual Mental Health Luncheon—and together, we raised over $100,000 to support individuals living with mental illness on their journey to recovery. We were honored to hear from Bethany Yeiser, a national advocate and keynote speaker, and we’re grateful to Rodney Baltimore of HOT 105 for serving as our dynamic MC.

A special thank you to our title sponsor, the Dosal Family Foundation, for their incredible support.

We’re so proud of what we accomplished together—thank you for being part of it!
