Walks of Pride 2011

Community walks against the stigma of mental illness have been staged for Mental Health Month. The 'Walk of Pride' idea has now been picked up throughout NSW by ARAFMI Branches as well as in other states in Australia.

This year Mental Health Week 2011 ran from October 9 till 15th and there was no better way to kick off the week than to participate in the ‘Walk of Pride’!

The ‘Walk of Pride’ began at the ARAFMI (Hunter) branch and started out as a community anti-stigma event promoting visibility of mental illness and encouraging community participation in mental health issues.
