“Our hope is that you will gather your family and friends to join us for this fun event, with a significant purpose. We are working toward ending the stigma around mental health. It’s important that we all feel comfortable talking to our loved ones if we need help. This is a great way to raise awareness and encourage those courageous conversations,” said Rebecca Hall, incoming Executive Director of NAMI Montgomery County.
