Mental Health America of Lancaster County (MHALC) will celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month in May. From Saturday, May 1, to Monday, May 31, a progressive art walk through downtown Lancaster will be held. Community members may take a stroll down North Queen Street, North Prince Street, and Gallery Row and view mental health-themed artwork in the windows of the 30 participating businesses. The progressive art walk will launch MHA's yearlong anti-stigma campaign, "We Need to Talk About Mental Health."
On Saturday, May 8, MHALC will host its first-ever virtual walk, Walk Your Way for MHA. MHALC encourages the community to walk, run, bike, hike, swim, kayak, or cartwheel along as MHALC counts the miles for mental health. Participants may do as little or as much as they like and register as an individual or as a team. Participants can compete for medals in different categories. On the day of the walk, participants will share the unique and creative ways they accomplished their goal and text their completed miles so MHALC can update its mile tracker.
