Mental Health Awareness Walk offers resource and awareness opportunities ...

The Allamakee County Veterans Services Office and the Allamakee County Veterans Museum hosted a third annual walk event in Waukon in support of mental health awareness Saturday, June 28, initially hosting the first two events as PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) Awareness Walks but this year broadening that awareness to the broader overall aspect of mental health in an effort to be more inclusive. Approximately two dozen individuals made the trek from an initial gathering location at the Allamakee County Freedom Rock in Waukon City Park down through Waukon via Rossville Road (photo above) to the front lawn of the Allamakee County Courthouse (photo below) and the Allamakee County Veterans Museum, where information and resources were available for individuals, or their family and friends, whose lives have been impacted by mental health or those seeking information about maintaining their own mental health.
