WALK FOR MENTAL WELLNESS WITH GIRL SCOUT TROOP 2267

Update from the troop, May 23rd:

• The troop distributed nearly 100 informational brochures that they'd made, explaining mental wellness in clear language, and providing helpline numbers, tips, and encouragement.
• The girls also distributed vials of mood-enhancing lavender and citrus aromatherapy that they made.
• And we blasted through our fundraising goal -- delivering nearly $2,200 to NAMI.

Walk for Mental Wellness

Saturday, May 18th, 2:30 p.m.

 

Girl Scout Troop 2267 will host a walk for mental wellness on Saturday, May 18th, at 2:30 p.m. The troop is raising funds for the National Alliance on Mental Illness while raising awareness about youth mental wellness. 

 

Meet up with the scouts at The Church of the Holy Apostles, 612 Greenwood Avenue, between Prospect Avenue and E. 7th Street. The three-mile walk will take place along Prospect Park and throughout the neighborhood.

 

The troop will share information and resources along the way.

 

From Girl Scout Troop 2267:

We think this topic is important because: 

• We all know someone who struggles from mental wellness issues
• Mental health challenges in kids our age have increased since the pandemic and are made even worse by social media
• We want people of all ages to know that they are not alone and that there are resources available to help.

Please support our cause! Thank you!
