About the Campaign

On the eve of the Paris Olympics, world-class athletes join us for the Mental Health Fitness campaign to acknowledge the importance of prioritizing mental as well as physical well-being. In a series of personal videos and interviews, they share how they’ve been able to face their own mental health challenges — and provide pointers on how to combine fitness with core mental health skill-building techniques. One crucial message: Asking for support when you need it is a key part of maintaining your #MentalHealthFitness.
