TAMPA, Fla. -- The University Area Community Development Corporation is now offering free live, online, closed-group, support sessions for mental wellness and self-care through its "Get Moving!" program.

"Just to give you some more motivation and make you feel good about yourself because this isn't going to be forever," Clark said.
