On Friday October 20, the Prairieview ladies ran the 5K Monster Dash in Cumberland, WI. The ladies have been training hard, getting up early to run during the week. They have demonstrated such dedication, it seems, due to having something to look forward to (mastery), while running also helps to regulate emotions and improve mood. The group decided on being super heroines, to celebrate empowerment and self-acceptance.

At Northwest Passage, our mental health clinician’s go beyond just typical office therapy in working with our youth. They like to incorporate all of the many things that help to keep people mentally healthy, including physical activity. The mind and body are connected, so when one is healthy the other is healthier too. It is much easier to deal with life’s problems and challenges when your body is active because it lifts your mood. Physical activity can also act an antidepressant.
