About the event
To recognize Mental Health Awareness Month and National Prevention Week, The Norwalk Partnership, Norwalk ACTS, and NCC are hosting "NorWALK for Mental Health" along with a "Check In" Wellness Fair featuring speakers, prizes, music, and more. We'll have:
- Music, art, laughter yoga, door prizes, and the EverybodyEatz van.
- Mental health booths where you can practice coping skills, "paint your heart out," get a "check-up from the neck up," and meet friendly people who can answer your mental health questions.
- Prevention booths where you can experience the risks of impaired driving, pick up Liquor Stickers or Narcan, learn about suicide prevention, and get parenting resources.
- People of all ages sharing their personal mental health journeys & a press conference with local elected officials.
- The state's "Change the Script" behavioral health resource van.
- So everyone, please join us on the Norwalk Green with your family, friends or co-workers, because we ALL need to take care of our mental health!
- Also... throughout the month we and our partners are offering free trainings: NAMI's In Our Own Voice mental health awareness presentation, several QPR suicide prevention trainings, opioids/Narcan trainings, and LGBTQ trainings for the community and for providers. Check out the calendar of events at thenorwalkpartnership.org/walk!
