Organiser's Description
🌿 Join us for our second annual Movement for Mental Health! Access to affordable and accessible mental health services is a crucial need in our community. Many individuals face significant barriers, such as high costs, long waiting times, and limited availability of services. These obstacles prevent people from receiving the help they need, often exacerbating their struggles and impacting their overall well-being. By supporting affordable mental health care, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, has the opportunity to access the necessary resources and support. Oakwell’s Movement for Mental Health seeks to unite our community, fostering solidarity and understanding while combating the stigma surrounding mental health. Through this event, we aim to shine a light on the importance of accessible mental health services, ensuring that everyone in our community has the support they need. Join us as we walk (or run) together in a supportive, family-friendly atmosphere, promoting empathy, awareness, and access to vital resources for mental well-being.
