By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people.

The tide is turning.

Americans don't want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza.

This morning, before the opening of Science to the Station powered by FRCE, we took a refreshing walk around the campus to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage and get the blood flowing.

Movement is essential for health and functional fitness! During our stroll, we shared valuable “nuggets of knowledge” on various topics, including nutrition, cancer, sleep, fitness, and even Neurotropic health.

It’s amazing how a little movement can spark meaningful conversations and deepen our understanding of wellness. Here’s to staying active and informed! #HealthAndWellness #ScienceToTheStation #FunctionalFitness

Thank you to everyone who attended our 1-day Health and Wellness Workshop today at CityWorks in Belmont, NC! Despite losing power and running on a generator due to Hurricane Helene, it was fantastic to see a full class from the City of Belmont Fire Department and surrounding areas. Your commitment to learning about sleep, stress management, mental health awareness, and reducing exposure to carcinogens is truly inspiring. We hope the skills gained will lead to a healthier you and positively impact your fellow first responders. Keep up the great work in prioritizing mental and physical wellness!

🌟 Suicide Prevention Awareness Month 🌟

Join Chief Dena Ali today at 1 PM EST for an important webcast, "Addressing Suicide: A Proactive Approach to First Responder Mental Wellness."

Viewers will learn the importance of proactive mental health as a means to combat the many mental health disorders that are common among first responders, including depression, addiction, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Tragically, when not addressed, the end result of each of these can be suicide. You will learn methods to prevent suicide by learning its traceable causes. Rather than focusing on individual risk factors, this webcast will explain how creating an environment to encourage help-seeking behavior can alter an individual’s trajectory from reaching suicide.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn and support mental wellness in our community.
