Move for Mental Health Event - May 1
Our Minds Matter (OMM) and Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) are excited to host our first ever Move for Mental Health event on Sunday, May 1, 2022 at Mason District Park!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and what better way to celebrate than by getting our moves on? Research shows that moving our bodies releases endorphins, relieves stress, provides a break from everyday life, presents an opportunity for self expression, and helps us feel more connected to our bodies. Physical activity is a healthy and accessible coping mechanism for when things get tough.
At our Move for Mental Health event, there is something for everyone! You can choose to walk, run, bike, wheel, and/or check other movement and self-care stations throughout the route. There will also be live performances and opportunities for FCPS students to earn community services hours.
This event is open to the public. We cannot wait to have you join us and show how you move for mental health!
When: Sunday May 1, 2022
Where: Mason District Park in Annandale
Time: 10:30am – 1:30pm
