SINT MAARTEN (CAY HILL) – The Mental Health Foundation is hosting a Mental Health Awareness March on November 13th, the International Day of Kindness.
The International Day of Kindness serves as a powerful reminder that kindness begins with us by caring for our mental health and seeking support when needed. This message aligns with the theme of this march, “End the Silence. Break the Stigma,” which promotes open conversations about mental health, self-compassion and a culture of care and solidarity.
We invite participants to wear green, the internationally recognized color for mental health awareness. The event aims to highlight mental health issues, reduce stigma and foster understanding, support and advocacy within the community. By bringing together diverse voices, the march encourages open dialogue and builds a culture of compassion and inclusion.
The march will begin at the Midtown Hotel parking lot on Front Street, proceed through Front Street and conclude at the head of town (Diamond Casino), followed by a closing speech on the boardwalk near Greenhouse. The event will take place from 5:00 p.m. sharp to 7:00 p.m.
Join us on November 13th and take a stand for mental health. Bring your voice, your support and your presence to help create a stronger, more compassionate community. Together, we can break down stigma and move toward a future where mental well-being is a shared priority. Let us all walk side by side in solidarity for a healthier, more supportive society.
