May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so we asked our YPs about their favorite ways to unwind in the community 💚

• Stroll the Appleton Farmers market
• Grabbing coffee and going on a walk down by Fratellos and sitting on the little swing bench they have down there
• Go to a workout class at places like EVOlution Cycle, Yoga3, or Lake Park Swim & Fitness
• Take an art class
• Sunrise Therapy (massage services)
• Visit our local parks, like Sunset Park in Kimberly
• See a movie at the movie theatre
• Grab a drink and a burger at Home Burger Bar
• A night out at Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna
• Walk the trails: Loop the lake trail, Newberry Trail, High Cliff State Park, Trestle Trail
