I choose to join a hike with HIKE for Mental Health to help stamp out the stigma of mental illness and conserve wilderness trails. I invite you, your friends and family to set out on the trails throughout October, sharing the love of the forests with one another and hiking for your well being. Then, please offer your miles and/or monetary donations to those who may be struggling. Please consider making a donation, sharing this page and commenting on your experiences with hiking for mental health.
For me, the woods have long been a place to remember peace and love. I hiked often. After a loved one died by suicide, I had a very hard time getting back out onto the trail, struggling with my own grief and mental health. Joining October’s hike for mental health mission helped me find healing and get out on the trails again, supporting others in well being also heals us.
See you on the trails!
