Strides against stigma

Walk aims to raise awareness that mental health issues not shameful

To raise awareness that May is Mental Health Awareness Month, the staff at Crossroads Counseling in Morris is hosting its first-ever 5K Run/Walk at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 5, at Gebhard Woods State Park.

The event, entitled “Race Away the Stigma,” was to be a combination of raising awareness that mental health complications are not shameful, but should not be taken lightly, as well as a push toward both mental and physical health.
