A 5K Run/Walk to kick off Mental Illness Awareness Week! Proceeds will benefit the Frederick Mental Health Association Walk-In Clinic.

During the first full week of October, Mental Health Provider Council of Frederick and participants across the country are raising awareness of mental illness. Go green with Excel Youth for Mental Illness Awareness Week 2017 and use #RunForABetterTomorrow and #MIAW2017 to share your pictures at the different events October 1-8th with us! We believe that mental health issues are important to address year-round, but highlighting them during #MIAW2017 provides a time for people to come together and display the passion and strength of those working to improve the lives of the tens of millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
