The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and Fit by Loy encourage the community to exercise for mental health by participating in a free cardio drumming class at Fit by Loy on Tuesday, November 19 at 5:30pm.
“In the United States, 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 youth experience mental illness, yet 60% of Americans receive no treatment for their diagnoses,” said Nicole Loy, owner of Fit by Loy. “Exercising is a researched and validated form of boosting mental health, and we are thrilled to team up with NAMI to reduce the stigma of mental health issues and to provide assistance for those who may be struggling or who have a family member or friend who is struggling.”
NAMI raises awareness on mental illness and provides essential and free education, advocacy, and support groups. The local Darke, Miami, and Shelby County NAMI organization will be at Fit by Loy during the cardio drumming class to provide information on the organization and offer resources to those who are interested.
“As a thank you for participating, said Loy, NAMI is offering a free gift to everyone who attends. This will be a fun, positive event for all.”
The free Beat Mental Illness Cardio Drumming class will be held Tuesday, November 19 at 5:30pm at 120 W. Third St. in downtown Greenville. This class is limited to 30 participants, so guests are encouraged to arrive early. Details can be found at www.fitbyloy.com/events.
