The Step Forward Together campaign is designed to foster a culture of openness and support around mental health issues. By encouraging conversations and activities that highlight the importance of mental health, FEAP aims to break down the barriers that often prevent individuals from seeking help. The indoor walk is one of many events planned to engage The University community in this vital conversation.
Walking and talking together is a powerful way to enhance mental health. Physical activity, even in the form of a gentle walk, has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and boost overall well-being. Coupled with the opportunity to connect with colleagues, these walks create a supportive environment where individuals can share experiences, offer support, and build stronger relationships.
FEAP's commitment to touching every part of The University is evident in the choice of venue for this walk. Hosting the event inside the UVA Medical Center underscores the importance of integrating Well-being into all aspects of university life. It highlights their commitment to the accessibility of mental health support and the inclusivity of the campaign, ensuring that even those working in demanding environments can participate and benefit from these initiatives.
The indoor walk is scheduled for August 20 at 4:30 p.m., starting in the Medical Center Lobby near the Piano. It will be a 30-minute journey of connection and support. Whether you seek to get some light exercise, engage in meaningful conversations, or simply show your support for mental health awareness, this event is an excellent opportunity.
FEAP invites you to join in this walk and take a step forward together towards a healthier, more supportive environment. For more information on the Step Forward Together campaign and other well-being events, please visit uvafeap.com/together
