Our Impact
Year over year, the Walk to the Lighthouse event continues to grow, creating a meaningful and lasting positive impact in our community. With each passing year, the event brings together more participants, supporters, and advocates who are united in their commitment to mental health awareness and support. This growing engagement plays a vital role in destigmatizing mental health issues, encouraging open conversations, and fostering understanding and compassion.
Through increased visibility and community involvement, the Walk to the Lighthouse helps expand access to mental health support and resources, empowering individuals to seek help without fear or shame. Our continued growth strengthens our ability to raise awareness about the importance of mental health care, reduce stigma surrounding mental illness, and improve mental health supports within our community—ensuring that no one has to navigate their mental health journey alone.
