Health is wealth! In a remarkable collaboration, Kroger and Jewel are teaming up for The Wellness Experience World Mental Health Day Summit and Concert on Saturday, October 10. This event is designed to highlight the importance of healthy living and mental wellness in our lives. Since 2018, these two influential organizations have been committed to fostering a healthier community through engaging events focused on physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

This year's summit marks a significant shift, as it will be held virtually. Previously hosted in Cincinnati, the event will now be live-streamed for free on their official website and Facebook page, making it accessible to a wider audience amidst the ongoing challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic. This change reflects the growing recognition of mental health issues and the need for accessible resources during these times.

Colleen Lindholz, the president of Kroger Health, emphasizes the mission behind The Wellness Experience: “We launched this initiative to inspire everyone to live healthier lives. The goal is to provide easy steps and solutions that combine health, wellness, and nutrition while connecting with our customers on a personal level.” This commitment to community health is more crucial than ever as we all navigate the complexities of modern life.

Participants can look forward to a rich program that includes therapeutic discussions, uplifting songs, fitness classes, and expert interviews, all aimed at providing actionable steps to enhance mental wellness. Jewel herself will engage in meaningful conversations with Dr. Christine Moutier, the Chief Medical Officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, ensuring that viewers receive valuable insights and support.

As Jewel stated, “We recognize that many are combating the silent symptoms of COVID-19, anxiety, depression, and isolation, in addition to their physical health.” This summit is not only a source of information but also a platform to raise funds for the Inspiring Children Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to revolutionizing youth development in underserved communities. The event embodies a holistic approach to health, merging entertainment with education and community support.

To participate in this transformative event, viewers are encouraged to register for the free World Mental Health Day Summit and Concert through their official website. This summit is a vital opportunity to gain insights into improving mental wellness and to connect with others on similar journeys towards healthier living.
