During this time she has seen numerous people benet from the information support and camaraderie that COPE programs oer. One of the benets says Kathleen ...is knowing that you are not alone in facing the challenges of a mental health disorder. No dif- ferent than a physical illness mental illness can also be debilitating. But unlike a physical disability mental and emotional disorders are often stigmatized leaving a person to deal with their experience in isolation. We are here so people do not need to suf- fer alone and in silence. That is also why on June 11 2016 Community Care Durham is hold- ing their 11th Annual Walk for Mental Health Awareness at the Heydenshore Park Waterfront Trail in Whitby. From 9 a.m. until noon more than 300 people will walk run or bike up to ve kilometres to raise funds and awareness about mental health and dispel the stigma that sur- rounds these types of disorders. An event for the whole family there will be a petting zoo and face painting for the kids music entertainment a free BBQ at noon and amazing prizes. Please call Emma at 905-430-8014 or email her at eramcharan communitycaredurham.on.ca for more information and to register your participation in the Walk for Mental Health Awareness.
