Stop the Stigma 5K
April 27 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am
Nearly every family in the United States has been touched by mental illness or addiction. Interfaith Social Services hosts the Stop the Stigma 5K each year to support our loved ones, challenge stereotypes, encourage acceptance and eliminate stigmas, all while raising funds for our New Directions Counseling Center.
This year’s Stop the Stigma 5K, on April 27, is celebrating 50 years of supporting our community!
The 5K raises crucial funds to support our New Directions Counseling Center. New Directions serves anyone seeking counseling, but we pride ourselves on being a safety net for the uninsured and underinsured members of our community. New Directions makes mental health care accessible to everyone by offering a sliding scale payment system.
We need your help more than ever to make sure all members of the community can get the help they need and seek out treatment without feeling shamed. Your registration fee alone provides one counseling session for a neighbor suffering with a mental illness. The 5K begins and ends at the Kennedy Center in Quincy, MA.
