To Walk a
Mile in MY
Shoes
Why do we Rally?
To enhance public awareness, because legislators need to know that Mental Health Matters.
To put an end to the stigma related to mental illness & developmental disabilities, because Michigan does not have parity (equality) between mental health & physical health care coverage.
To promote mental health and wellness, because we can make a difference!
More then 1000 people from all over the State of Michigan Participated in the Walk and Rally.
Participants meet with many State Senators and State Representatives during the Walk and Rally.
Willie Brooks, Executive Director & CEO of Oakland Community Health Network; State Representative Sylvia Santana; DWMHA CEO Tom Watkins and Loren Glover of The Arc Detroit. The arc detroit participated in Walk a Mile in my Shoes may 10,2017
