Push Ups for Prevention
Septemeber 8, 2020 - October 2, 2020
The next time you see someone walking with their head down, take the time to at least say, "Hi." Show them a smile because a simple gesture to others may help them and will also make you feel better. Campus Recreation, Student Counseling Services and Veteran's Affairs are teaming up to raise awareness about suicide prevention!
We are challenging YSU community members to complete 25 push-ups for 25 days in support of raising awareness of mental health issues and prevent suicide.
All you have to do is take a pic or video of you doing the push ups, post on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or the YSU APP, tag Campus Rec, Student Counseling Service or Veteran's Affairs 4 times during the challenge and be registered to win a prize pack at the end of the challenge.
Together we can make a difference.
