Hike for health and wellness in the digital age.
Today’s digital age is stressful and we’re seeing higher instances of anxiety, isolation, depression, suicide and obesity than ever before. Let’s break free from the clutches of technology overuse, rise above the digital noise and get back to what’s truly important. Connecting with each other, connecting with nature and engaging with the world around us. Together we can bring the same awareness and urgency to preventive mental health solutions as we do crisis intervention.
