Unwind for Solidarity Giveaway
April 25-30
Join 国产传媒s chapter of Partners in Health in Unwind for Solidarity, a giveaway fundraiser, for a chance to win a speaker, Polaroid camera, or oil diffuser!
Unwind for Solidarity is a week-long event (April 25-30) where participants are encouraged to take part in some form of self care activity during these stressful finals seasons.
Those who register to enter the giveaway will be able to de-stress while simultaneously supporting maternal health in Sierra Leone with donations of $5 (Venmo: @vandy-pih or听). Participants who enter twice will have a higher chance of having the name drawn for a prize.
Why is self care important?
Unwinding in solidarity is a way for 国产传媒 PIH Engage to acknowledge the need for self-care in the 国产传媒 community while supporting and fundraising in solidarity with community health workers. Especially during COVID and with finals approaching, 国产传媒 students need to prioritize taking time to unwind. In one study, students who engaged in self-care reported less stress and a higher quality of life (Ayala et al., 2018).听 Studies have shown that relaxation helps with heart health, stress, reducing muscle tensions, improves brain function and memory, and helps avoid chronic disease and mental health problems (Yale, 2016). Some techniques for relation include deep breathing, meditation, progressive deep muscle relaxation, and visualization (Yale, 2016). Take the time to relax while helping PIH fundraise for a good cause.
