AT-PAC’s David Clark Participates in The Push-Up Challenge for Mental Health Awareness

Mental health impacts your well-being and can affect your overall health conditions. Many suffer in silence continuing to face mental illness on their own. Coming together as a community to help spread mental health awareness and remove the societal shame surrounding it is the clear mission of The Push-Up Challenge founded by The Push For Better Foundation. The foundation focuses on the prevention and early intervention of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Since 2017, The Push-Up Challenge has seen over 250,000 participants and raised over $16 million for mental health and suicide prevention.

Acknowledging and understanding the importance of mental health and the benefits of speaking up on the issue compelled AT-PAC employee David Clark to join the movement. Completing 3,139 push-ups over 24 days to raise awareness and funding for mental health is the challenge that many like David Clark have taken on to help change the narrative surrounding mental health. “I was drawn to this cause to help in busting this stigma around mental health and emotional wounds! I have spent my career in the construction industry, where only now is it becoming socially acceptable to talk and share your thoughts.” Says David on why he chose to be part of the Push-Up Challenge for a second year in a row. The Push For Better Foundation aims to raise awareness while educating the public on mental health. “If we haven’t been there ourselves, we at least know someone who has had or continues to struggle with mental health in their daily lives” stated by David. Mental health doesn’t have to be a road anyone should have to take alone. Join thousands of people for this great cause and mental health awareness that could change your life and others.

Get fit, learn about mental health and join the movement to push for better mental health.
