BRAVE FACE is the recognition of the phenomenal efforts made by people with mental health conditions – mild to severe, acute to chronic. To get up in the morning, maintain some kind of self care, make breakfast, go to work, school, or study, feed and dress the kids, go to job interviews, attend social events – to actually go outside – everything that happens in between – to carry what you carry, everyday.
Why we do it..
There is a growing recognition that Mental Illness impacts a significant portion of the community, and affects all aspects of an individual’s life. The difficulties experienced, relate to, among many factors, a reduced engagement in beneficial physical activity, and social engagement in the community. Research shows that programs targeting physical activity can have a significant effect in reducing symptomology of many mental health conditions.
