Mind and Wellness Foundation

Join Mind and Wellness Foundation (MAWF) by gathering your friends and family and head out for a walk celebrating the memory of those lives we love who have struggled with mental health. Whether you prefer to walk alone our with friends and family this event is for everyone who believes in the power of mental health and wellness.

 

The purpose of the '2024 Mental Break 5K Virtual Walk' is to garner awareness for barriers surrounding access to mental health care, including lack of knowledge and access to providers, insurance, and financial limitations, among other challenges that young men and women in the U.S. experience, particularly those in communities of color. 

​

Not only will you be supporting a worthy cause, but you will also have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for mental wellness. The Foundation Walk is a chance to come together as a family, network, and community, to celebrate our collective efforts, and to inspire each other to continue advocating for mental health.

• Suicide is the third leading cause of death for teens and young adults, ages 15-24 (SAVE, 2021).

• 25.5% of adults ages 18-24 reported having seriously considered suicide in the past month. This is a higher percentage than any other adult age group (CDC, 2020).

• Suicide is the second leading cause of death in Black children aged 10-14, and the third leading cause of death in Black adolescents aged 15-19 (National Institute of Mental Health, 2019).
