 A great time was had by all at MHANJ's 4th Annual Walk for Wellness. The walk, which raised thousands of dollars to support MHANJ in it's mission was held in Johnson Park, New Brunswick this past Sunday, 10/9/11. There was an excellent band, wonderful prizes, and great enthusiasm about helping people with mental illnesses to recover. Special thanks to my mom, dad, Avi (the cute pup pictured left with my mom), The Franzblaus, The Reeds, and Heather F. for all of their support on walk day. Thanks to those who contributed to The Dream Team Coaches team as well! Be Well ~Emily Add Comment Please Don't Miss This Important Workshop and Book Signing!!!!!

The Dream Team Coaches is working hard to raise money to support the Mental Health Association of NJ's walk. This is an organization very dear to the Dream Team Coaches' heart because 1) they trained The Dream Team Coaches' founder, Emily Grossman to be a Mental Health Peer Coach and 2) they work so hard every day to empower those struggling with mental illness while also destigmatizing the illness as a whole. Please, do not forget that 1 in 4 Americans struggles every year with mental illness. It is all around us. Chances are, even if you do not think that you personally know someone who struggles with mental illness, you do. It is just that stigma gets in the way of people coming out and sharing their struggles. So how can you help? Well the best thing would be for you to JOIN The Dream Team Coaches' Walking Team!If we can get 5 people to represent The Dream Team Coaches in the walk, then THEY WILL LET US SET UP A TABLE TO PROMOTE THE DREAM TEAM COACHES ON THE DAY OF THE WALK!!!
