Maynicures for Mental Health Awareness
Did you know that May is National Mental Health Awareness Month? Unfortunately, 60% to 80% of kids do not get the care they need, leading to school dropout, drug and alcohol addiction, even suicide attempts. You, your girlfriends, daughters, and sisters can help start much needed conversations about children’s mental health through a fun and colorful challenge called Maynicures.
What is Maynicures? Maynicures is a fun campaign where the One in Five message comes to life! Anyone can join- in fact we encourage it! It all starts by visiting www.maynicures.org to sign-up, followed by painting four of your nails one color and one nail a different color. Snap a picture of your Maynicure, share on social media and challenge 2 friends to do the same! The party will celebrate the launch of the campaign- we will have a DIY nail station to help you get your Maynicure, as well as fun photo opportunities to share on your social!
Maynicures is designed to give them a voice during the Month of May. One in five children will need help with mental, emotional and behavioral care. That translates to 80,000 childrn in Bexar County alone. Maynicures is excited to be partnering with the renowned jewelry designer Kendra Scott for the campaign! They will be hosting a trunk show during the event, with 20% of the proceeds going back to One in Five Minds- it’s a great opportunity to pick out your Mother’s Day gift!
