The 'Unite Through the Night' walk wil take place in Tullamore
Join Accessible Counselling Tullamore (ACT) on Saturday, October 15 to mark World Mental Health Day
ACT are asking the people of the Midlands to join them at Tullamore Harriers (or at your own location) where they will be walking united in commitment to bring hope and help to people struggling with their mental health.
They would love everyone to come along and join us anytime between 6pm and midnight and to walk with us for as long as you can.
The night will kick off with an opening ceremony framed by the setting sun, there will be music by local artists and a brief opening address and a time for reflection.
The walk will then commence on the running track where everyone can walk at their own pace and meet people of all ages and backgrounds, each with their own story of why they are walking.
The route is safe and clearly marked and there will be stewards and support crew on hand, gentle music playing and food and refreshments available by local vendors.
Every participant will be given a tea light to place along the track. These will line the route and will serve as a reminder of the importance of our mission – which is to support the people in our community maintain positive mental health.
At ACT they do this by providing the people of the Midlands with accessible, affordable and timely counselling and psychotherapy but we must all play our part to support those around us that are struggling by engaging, listening and connecting with care. United, we can all take steps to promote positive mental health in our community.
The walk will conclude with a closing ceremony at midnight, where everyone will stand together, each with our own journey that has led us there and participants will vow to continue to unite together for a brighter tomorrow.
Please register to walk with
ACT: Adult (16+) €15 Child (-16) €5.
