Hi First_Name,

As a department, we recognize that mental well-being is an incredibly important part of our overall health. Participating with a group or as an individual in any recreational activity provides a strong sense of value and belonging. We encourage you to join some of our events this month and take note of the mental, social and emotional benefits that engaging with others and seeing different surroundings brings you.
