March for Self Harm Awareness

Bringing Mental Health Awareness and Music to Route #134
Do you support or organize Mental Health and Wellness Activities in your Community?
Are you a provider of services to the Mental Health and Wellness demographic in your Community?
Do you know someone in your community who deserves recognition for their community Wellness contributions?
If you answered YES to one or more of these questions then do we have an event for you!
It’s a Mental Health Awareness shout out recognizing the effects of SELF HARM!!
Here on the true north shore of New Brunswick it is no secret or surprise to say that the funding and availability of health and social services in general has seen a decline. Cuts to our social safety net are ongoing and should not go unchallenged.
Now, more than ever, is the time to keep a unified voice in the conversation of what happens to provincial resources and how they are allocated.
This march from Bathurst to Campbellton following Rte #134 gives every community along the way an opportunity to make themselves heard and create an event of their own.
WE BRING THE PARADE
Hold a fundraiser.. Celebrate a local MH worker or Advocate.. Deliver YOUR message.
JOIN FOR 1KM OR JOIN FOR 100.. STAND AT THE END OF YOUR DRIVEWAY AND CHEER
MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!!!
**PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTENTION TO PARTICIPATE FOR SCHEDULING PURPOSES**
