Raising Awareness for Rural Mental Health through a 200-Mile Walk
The Journey for Rural Mental Health
Roger Sewill, 60, is embarking on a significant journey, walking 200 miles across five counties alongside his pony. This initiative aims to bring rural mental health problems to the forefront of public discussion. His trek will begin from Charlwood, a place dear to him since childhood.
Why Rural Mental Health Matters
In many rural areas, mental health issues often go unnoticed and untreated. People in these communities face unique challenges that can impact their mental wellbeing. This campaign intends to highlight the resources available and urge improvements in mental health services.
- Awareness Creation: Increasing visibility of mental health problems.
- Community Engagement: Encouraging local support networks.
- Advocacy for Resources: Pushing for better access to mental health services.
As Sewill walks, he hopes to engage with local communities, share stories, and inspire others to join the conversation about mental health.
