Volunteer Night | September 2025

Last night, during our Volunteer Night, we successfully packed 200 Mental Health Kits! We appreciate our volunteers who participated and were a part of it. We gathered all the items that were put inside the kits, as well as an additional new item. The Mental Health Kits now include a new design on our journals where you can do your check-ins, answer journal prompts, and more! These Mental Health Kits will be given away this month to the students of Proviso East High School on September 18th during lunch hours, in honor of Suicide Prevention Month.

Community Talk: Suicide Prevention Panel

Last week we held a panel discussion about suicide prevention in honor of suicide prevention month! The Proviso community has suffered from 7 youths lost to suicide. We thought it was important to hold a conversation between mental health advocates, Sarah of Yo Soy Ella, and Erika Luna and Erika Aguirre of Oasis Project Therapy. Hosted by Jasmine Lopez, our ED, and CEO of Mentally Mutual, we talked about suicide education, signs/risks for suicide, and how to create a community for those in need.

Thank you to all those who came to our discussion! Our recording will be posted on YouTube soon for those who could not attend.
