  • Come Stretch Your Mind with ITL! Last year, we hosted our first yoga event at Rutgers and it was a blast! On 11/18 at 10 pm we will be hosting our second yoga night at the CASC room 109, open to Rutgers University students! Wear clothes you can move in and a mat or a big towel to stretch out on! See ya there 🧘‍♀️ ☀️ 🌙
  • Mental Illness can affect us all. Don’t think this issue is not “your issue,” because in reality it can become your issue. This isn’t meant to scare you, but it’s meant to make you aware - aware that your friends and family may be struggling. So know the warning signs, know how to listen, ask safe & effective questions, and where to direct people for help. We’re all in this together. On October 10th of every year we celebrate World Mental Health Day with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health. #worldsmentalhealthday #support #wereallinthistogether
  • Huge thank you to @redbankcatholic for having us present to the juniors and seniors at respect week! It was such a pleasure #gocaseys
  • My name is Zaniah Sharkey and I am here to tell you why I believe getting professional help is so important. The answer is simple; it’s the only thing that will work. My whole life my family has always had a connection to mental health. Over the last two years my mom and aunt have become the co-chairs on the board of The Mental Health Association (MHA) of Monmouth County. Over the last ten years, I have attended many events and fundraisers. Due to my family’s affiliation to MHA I realized not only am I volunteering for hours but I am volunteering to make a change and learn valuable information. Information I find is intriguing yet RARELY spoken about. When Into the Light (ITL) first began I reached out to see how I could get involved. I loved that I could help end the stigma through the ITL movement. Losing one of my best friends was a wake up call that we cannot shy away from the mental health conversation. For almost an entire year of my life I’d see my best friend daily. After school, sports events, parties, sleepovers, and FaceTimes. All of a sudden I was replaced by a boy. I got mad and jealous and I thought “why can she just put a 2 week old relationship over a 52 week one?” Never could I come up with an answer. So I finally asked and the answer forever changed my life. My best friend was suicidal and pushed us away so she could leave and not feel she was a burden. I felt she should have told me since I had “mental health” written all over me but she felt she couldn’t, she was vulnerable the stigma. Unfortunately, it’s only talked about after we lose someone. This needs to CHANGE NOW! Talk about it now! You may feel uncomfortable listening but think about how uncomfortable someone suffering feels in their OWN SKIN. The more we talk about it means it will become a habit. Once it’s a habit it will be hard to break! DON’T BREAK THE HABIT! BREAK THE STIGMA!
  • Huge thank you to everyone that came to our first club meeting at Rutgers! So many new and old faces 🤗🤗 look out for upcoming events and meetings, and bring your friends! Next up: Diesel and Duke fundraiser on October 8th! See you there 🍔🤩✨
  • A huge thanks to the 14 teams who completed in the Mountains vs the Seas event this year! All together you raised a total of $36,000 to help rid the stigma surrounding mental health issues! Great job to Red Bank Catholic for raising the most money, a total of $8,076 dollars and to the number one ☝️ individual fundraiser, Ava Sorrentino for raising $1,500! We are so happy we were able to talk to some teams prior to the event to get you excited and passionate about our mission! Always remember to embrace the mental health conversation. Video 📹 coming soon! #soccer #tournament #mountainsvstheseas #mentalhealthawareness #conversation #intothelight
