May is Mental Health Awareness Month! #KitesForHope
Mental Health is a topic that all of us want to feel comfortable discussing, although many find it difficult to start the conversation!
May is national Mental Health Awareness Month and Optum Idaho wants to provide even more opportunities to help initiate and continue the dialog around positive mental health by partnering with The Idaho Resilience Project to bring your community, "Kites For Hope," a positive, friendly and unifying way to reach out, reconnect and say, "Hello Idaho!"
The Idaho Resilience Project and Optum Idaho is distributing 7,000 “Kites For Hope” in May to communities, organizations, schools and libraries throughout the state. On Friday, May 21, 2021, choose your favorite kite-flying location and join us in a day to reconnect and "Lift Each Other Up" while flying “Kites For Hope” to raise awareness that mental health impacts the wellbeing and quality of life of every Idaho adult, child and family!
Post photos of your kites and kite-flying on your favorite social media platform and tag @optumidaho and @idahoresilienceproject or use the hashtags #kitesforhope, #lifteachotherup, #resilientcommunities, #resilientidaho and #hopeliveshere.
