San Antonio-based Massage Heights Partners with National Alliance on Mental Illness to Further Mental Health Care

San Antonio’s leading light in the wellness industry, Massage Heights, has joined hands with the grassroots mental health organization, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). The comprehensive partnership aims to heighten assistance and care towards individuals contending with mental illnesses.

A Fundraising Move

As part of the exciting initiative, Massage Heights, known for its long-standing commitment to community care, has pledged to contribute $1 for every completed massage or facial service from now until July 31 to NAMI. Visitors can also elect to donate directly on the Massage Heights fundraising page or select to gift a contribution during checkout.

A Shared Vision on Mental Health Care

Massage Heights officials cited that their company’s slogan “Rejuvenate with Purpose” alludes to the natural bond between massage therapy and mental health. The partnership comes at a crucial time given that, as per NAMI, one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness. NAMI strives to offer advocacy, education, public awareness, and support to those impacted by mental illness and their families.

The Goal

In addition to inspiring change and awareness, the company has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $100,000 by the year-end. This commitment underscores the significant emphasis placed on mental health within the company’s broader community wellness initiatives.

Why This Matters

Shane Evans, co-founder, and CEO of Massage Heights, remarked on the partnership, stressing the company’s belief that mental health constitutes a core aspect of an individual’s overall wellness. He reiterated their hope that this collaboration with NAMI would cultivate greater comprehension and awareness about the resources and support necessary to assist individuals wrangling with mental illnesses. He further added, “I’m proud that this initiative gives us an even significant chance to build a workplace where employees feel appreciated and supported. Consequently, we can extend the same backing to the communities we serve through personalized wellness services”.

Mental health is a predominant topic today, and partnerships like this one between Massage Heights and NAMI not only contribute to the development of resources but also continues to build awareness in the communities they serve.
