Methodist Healthcare Ministries Hosts Mental Wellness Event in San Antonio to Combat Stigma and Expand Resources
Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, Inc. (MHM) recently hosted 'Nurturing Our Well-Being: A Celebration of Mental Health' at its Dixon Health & Wellness Center in San Antonio. The free event attracted over 200 community members and was designed to promote mental wellness, reduce the stigma associated with mental health challenges, and connect individuals and families with essential health and community resources. Activities included chair yoga, drum circles, and dance fitness classes, alongside opportunities for attendees to engage with MHM and partners like the San Antonio Police Department Mental Health Unit. The initiative is part of MHM’s broader commitment to supporting whole-person health. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), over one in five U.S. adults experienced a mental illness in 2022, highlighting the critical need for such community-based support and awareness efforts.
