Mental health walk set for April 10

Open to all youth ages 12-18, Phillips County Walks Together is an event focused on mental health and is scheduled at the Phillips County Event Center and walking path Saturday, April 10, from 1-3:30 p.m.

Intended to be educational and resourceful, the event will provide awareness, as well as tools for recognition and response.

During the 1-2:30 p.m. walking portion of the event, youth will learn about the feelings and challenges that teens face today and how mental health can be affected.

From 2:30-3:30 p.m., the group will then make kindness rocks in Homesteaders Park.
