Active Aging Week reminds us that staying active supports both body and mind! Yesterday we laced up our walking shoes for our Lucky Duck Mental Health Walk and participated in NIFS Move Your Mood during Mental Health Awareness Week. Together, we worked toward NIFS' nationwide goal of 5,000 resident workouts in a single day, proving that every step, smile, and movement can help boost our mood and well-being. 💙🚶🦆
