Lace up for mental health: Join the awareness run

Heal Your Mind, Shine Your Light and the Johannesburg Harriers Athletics Club are collaborating to raise awareness on mental health during Mental Health Month in October. As part of this initiative, they will host a Mental Health Awareness Run on October 6 at Klipriviersberg Recreation Centre starting at 07:00.

The event will include activities such as depression and grief counselling, as well as a trauma presentation scheduled for 08:30. The primary objective of the run is to foster public understanding and facilitate open dialogues about mental well-being.

Participants are encouraged to wear green attire as a symbol of mental health awareness and are invited to contribute R50 to support the cause. This event aims to combat the stigma surrounding mental illness, promote mental health education, and demonstrate solidarity with those impacted.
