Friday was an incredible day at the Healthy Communities Of Clinton County Coalition “Taco ‘Bout Mental Health” 5K! 🧠💚

We were proud to have participated alongside more than 700 community members who came together to help stop the stigma surrounding mental health!

Even Ace got in on the fun! Check out his fun Meridian Health Services water bottle keeping him cool!

Events like this remind us that conversations about mental health matter and that support, awareness and community connection can make a real difference. Thank you to everyone who walked, ran, volunteered showed up to support mental wellness for all. 🌟

Together, we are building stronger, healthier communities through one conversation at a time. 💚
