We invite you to join our movement to raise awareness about the importance of mental wellness for everyone, everyday. Here is how you can participate:
  
1)  Be a team captain! Form a team by recruiting 5 or more people you know - friends, neighbors, co-workers - to walk together. Name your team! Then return your completed forms -  team captain agreement and  team member report form to MHAF by email, fax, or mail at the contact information listed below.

2) Be a Walker!  Begin recruiting your friends, neighbors, co-workers to sponsor you as a walker in the 1st Walk for Mental Wellness. Complete the walker registration form and use the pledge form to record your pledges.  Then email, fax or mail to MHAF at the contact information listed below.

You can also print a poster to display where you work, go to church, or shop. 

  
Each walker who raises $100 will receive a commemorative t-shirt that is designed locally by people with mental health problems who are in recovery. So please get your forms turned in early to ensure you get this very special shirt!
  
And all money raised from this event will stay right here in our community to provide free services to people with mental health needs, including:
  • the only Mental Health HelpLine connecting people with needed providers and resources
  • the only free companion and supportive services program for homebound older adults
  • the only public policy grassroots organization promoting mental health legislation and funding
  • and much more!! 
  
We need you!! Help us ensure that each and every one of us has access to health, hope and recovery!
 
We're also sponsoring the Snowden Mental Health Mile on the same day. Check it out!
