Stomp Out The Stigma Walk
Tuesday, April 19th
4 PM - 5 PM
(Rain date, Wednesday, April 20th, 4pm)
As part of Fresh Check Day, you are invited to walk two miles in order to STOMP out the Stigma that can be associated with mental illness and suicide. Together, we will walk in solidarity to raise awareness about the importance about talking about and caring for college student mental health. The two mile on-campus loop will include a walk with UCPD’s Justin Cheney and Tildy! If you haven’t met Tildy yet, come meet another lovable UConn pup.
To register for the in-person walk, sign up here. Please read and sign the Participant Acknowledgement of Risk and Liability Release.pdf form and bring it to the walk.
