The NEOMED Walking Whales will be participating in the 19th annual National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Walk on Saturday, Oct. 16. Join your fellow NEOMED community – including the Psychiatry Student Interest Group – and show your support for mental health awareness and advocacy.
You can *Walk* YOUR Way at the University of Akron. But did you know that you can *wag* your way with your furry best friend by participating virtually?

RSVP to Dr. Hupp (dhupp@neomed.edu) or Dr. Bonfine (nbonfine@neomed.edu) for the Zoom link to participate virtually.

Remember to stop by the Department of Psychiatry (B227) and let us know “Why I walk…” Feel free to leave a penny or two – any spare change will do! All proceeds support the NEOMED Walking Whales team at this year’s Summit County NAMI Walk.
