As 13-year-old Sadie Feingold for her Jewish coming-of-age ceremony this year,she had one goal in mind：to raise awareness of children's mental health struggles.
She said she was inspired to focus on this topic because of her own previous struggles with mental health. "People don't really talk about mental health as they do with physical health," Feingold said. "I think that some people feel like it's not important."
So,she did some research and read a piece in The New York Times that reported how a proper amount of exercise in adolescents can raise their levels of endorphin （a chemical produced in the brain that reduces the feeling of pain），and in turn,help improve their mental health.Then,Feingold came up with a plan：she would host an exercise class for local teens and families,and raise money to support the North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center in Roslyn Heights,a mental health agency that treats children and families.
She invited family,friends and others to gather in the parking lot of the community （社区） building in Port Washington,and on Sept.13，about 35 kids,teens and adults participates in the 45-minute class of individual exercises,led by a fitness instructor they knew.
She took donations at the class to support the Guidance Center and encouraged those who couldn't attend to dance as well.Her efforts raised nearly ﹩2，000.Regina Barros-Rivera,associate executive director at Guidance Center,said an effort like this one promoted "positive change" adolescents needed. "Energy creates energy.Talking an action creates a change.And this young lady has created something-not only just that the exercise is good for you,it's more that she's creating,and she's bringing."
