Thank you for pushing for better mental health in 2025 

Mar 3, 2025

From February 11 – 28, we challenged Nova Scotians to join us in pushing for better mental health by participating in The Push-Up Challenge.  

It was a big ask: complete 2,000 push-ups (or an alternative exercise) in just 18 days. Little did we expect to see such an overwhelmingly positive turnout. 

Over 414 Nova Scotians registered for the challenge with enthusiasm and commitment, completing 828,000 push-ups! 

Over the course of 18 days, you shared your progress, personal stories of mental health struggles and resilience, and positivity. You helped push mental health into the open, all while connecting with those who share the same passion for mental health and supporting each other and your own circles through open and caring conversation. 

$34, 599 raised for mental health across Nova Scotia 

These critical funds will support people living with mental illness, prevent mental illness and promote mental health and resilience for all Nova Scotians.  Thank you.  

Thank you to our Teams!
