MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) – Many New Year’s resolutions focus on physical health, but mental health is just as important.
The Walk 4 Mental Health is this coming weekend at Bonita Lakes Park.
This annual event focuses on breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and seeking help for it.
Zachary Ball Sr., the organizer of this event, says this is his passion project, with more people coming out every year.
“Every year it gets bigger and everyone is loving what we’re doing. I’m just trying to keep it going for the community and especially about mental health, because mental health is real. Expect to come out, hear different testimonies, I have 7 guest speakers, live entertainment, a photographer, a live DJ,” said Ball. “Just a lot of family and friends, churches, different organizations just uniting and having a good time, you know, just trying to get somebody out to this event.”
The Walk 4 Mental Health will be this Sunday, January 11th, at 3pm. This event is free of charge.
