Play it Forward

Play It Forward is a vital initiative aimed at supporting individuals facing intensified mental health challenges during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. This time of year often brings a rise in maladaptive coping behaviors—such as substance use, social isolation, and self-harm—as individuals navigate heightened stress and emotional strain. These risks are especially prevalent in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, who often experience additional pressures linked to socioeconomic disadvantages and health disparities.

Our initiative is dedicated to providing targeted, community-based support to address these unique challenges, promoting healthier coping mechanisms and fostering resilience within vulnerable communities during this critical season.
