Movember Week 2
Taking shape
This week's talking points
- Free, anonymous mental health screenings are available to the SU community online at http://www.mentalhealthscreening.org/screening/seattleu and all students are eligible for confidential mental health counseling for free at CAPS.
- You have a goal... share your fundraising goal with family and friends this week. Raise $15 by Friday and you're 1/2 way there!
Raising Funds
Help meet our challenge to you by individually raising $30 this month. Our SU team goal is $1,300 which is slightly more than last year.
- Fundraise at our weekly table - sign up HERE (WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK)
- Ask 1 person a day personally for a small donation (you can take cash and checks)
- Set small challenges on social media (I want to raise $15 by Friday, or I want to round my donations to $30 by Sunday, help me get there) You'll be amazed at what a simple (incremental) social media ask brings in!
- Get creative - whoever donates most by Sunday gets shaving/trimming rights over my moustache.

Men in particular face a unique set of challenges when it comes to them managing their mental well-being, with the associated stigma (of shame and embarrassment) often preventing them from seeking help and taking action. Learn more and donate to #Movember at [insert link to your mo space page].
1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. I'm doing #Movember this year to raise awareness and funds - please donate a few dollars to the cause at [insert link to your mo space page]
Today's #Movember health tip: STAY MENTALLY HEALTHY! We all go through feeling down, but when you're depressed you feel sad for weeks or months. Depression is a real illness and it's not a sign of weakness or something you can "snap out of". If you're feeling depressed look into counseling and see if it's right for you.
