May 2025 Wellbeing Newsletter Special Edition: Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health matters every day, but May gives us a dedicated space to reflect, support, and start meaningful conversations. Just like our physical health, our mental wellbeing needs care, attention, and compassion. May is a powerful reminder that it’s okay to not be okay, and that reaching out, checking in, and slowing down are all important acts of self-care.  Let’s use this month to create space for open conversations, deeper self-awareness, and a little more kindness—toward ourselves and others. 

In this edition, find practical tools, thoughtful insights, and supportive resources to help you prioritize your mental wellbeing—whether that means managing stress, building emotional resilience, or simply taking a moment to breathe.

Stride Together Step Challenge Starts Soon – Register Today!

Get ready to lace up and move with purpose — the Stride Together Step Challenge kicks off on May 12, and we’re stepping up in a big way! Whether you’re a casual walker, a serious stepper, or somewhere in between, this is your chance to rise to the challenge. And for this challenge, we're taking it up a notch with a special team competition featuring our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)! 

Participate with any ERG team and compete to see which group can rack up the most steps. It’s a great way to get moving, build team spirit, and show what your group can accomplish when you stride together. Please note: you do not need to be an ERG member to participate in this activity.

How it works:

• Join an Employee Resource Group (ERG) team — or support one if you’re not yet a member!

• Rack up your steps from May 12 through the challenge period.

• Help your team claim the top spot and show what your group can accomplish when you stride together!

Watch the kickoff video to learn how to participate and get inspired! Let’s rise to the challenge together — one step at a time!
