Description

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to gather at Anacostia Park for a 5K walk/run to promote mental and physical health for all ages At SMILE, we want to change how others look at mental health, especially in the black and brown communities. We cannot talk about mental health without discussing the intersectionality of physical health. What better way to bring awareness to mental & physical health in our community than putting on a family event, for all walks of life to enjoy. Let’s work together to reduce the negative stigma associated with mental healthcare in our minority communities and let’s all start to love and take care of our bodies, physically and mentally. For Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s all emphasize the importance and prioritize our health, because physical health IS mental health. Come support a local black woman-owned business, SMILE Therapy Services, LLC along with other local businesses(sponsors) for a family fun 5K. This event will be held on May 21, 2022, we want to gather at Anacostia Park for a 5K (3.2 miles) walk/run (for all ages). Be the BEST you, in 2022!
