Last weekend, the University of Maryland School of Social Work (UMSSW) took a significant stride in advocating for mental health awareness by participating in the NAMIWalks Maryland event. As a Silver Sponsor, UMSSW demonstrated its steadfast commitment to supporting initiatives that promote mental wellness.
Not only did UMSSW contribute as a sponsor, but it also rallied its community to raise over $2,000 in additional funds for the cause. UMB Social Walkers Team page <<
The NAMIWalks event served as a powerful platform for UMSSW to raise awareness, foster solidarity, and advocate for destigmatizing mental health issues. By participating and fundraising, UMSSW showcased its unwavering commitment to creating a more compassionate and understanding society.
The success of UMSSW’s involvement in NAMIWalks Maryland underscores the importance of collective action in addressing mental health concerns. It’s through initiatives like these that meaningful progress is made, one step at a time.
