Fishers, ind. – Saturday marks the opening day For Fisherman’s producer marketAnd although the weather is gray, the Fishermen’s Health Department hopes everyone knows the Gray days are temporary.
This is why they joined forces with students in the “Get into mind»Club at Hamilton Southeastern High School as well as fishermen without stigmatization and the Indianapolis Colts “ “ `stigma program, to bring awareness of mental health to Hoosiers.
“Everyone has mental health,” said Brittany Cheviron-Smith, a social worker of the Fishermen’s Health Department. “Everyone may not have mental health challenges, but we all have mental health, and make sure that we support this in a healthy way and that we intervene earlier goes really far so that we never reach this level of higher need and, hope, avoid mental health crises.”
At the producer market on Saturday, dozens of tables and activities were not only to have a place to find out about mental health, but to have a space to erase the mind.
“From therapy to awareness of suicide to other consulting services, it is important that we all come together, because we all provide something unique to the mental health sector,” said stigma director Brett Kramer.
Kramer said she thought the Colts brand helps attract children. Many have had the chance to kick a goal in the field in the inflatable stand of the program.
But apart from pleasure, Kramer said that it was a question of letting the children know that they are not alone.
“People see the Horseshoe colts, are naturally attracted by our brand, which we are passionate about, but we are trying to really do good with this power,” said Kramer, “we have the impression that it is our work to raise awareness of this field, and we are very happy that our team and our players are a large part of this mission.”
The Health Fishers department has a table every two Saturdays at the fishermen’s farmer market.
Cheviron-Smith encourages those who have trouble with mental health to know that it is correct to open and ask for help, especially young people.
“We know that our young people are struggling with their mental health, so the fact that our high school students are here, organizing this event, in partnership with our local organizations, really helps to bring this message back to the house and affects our population who most need the message,” said Cheviron-Smith.
