Leading Causes of Life 5K & Festival
Get Active About Mental Health!
Celebrate life during the Leading Causes of Life 5K & Festival! Join us for a day of food, fun and five-k as we raise awareness around youth prevention efforts here in Douglas County. This event helps remind everyone that it’s okay to ask for help when we need it and encourages community connectedness, which is a powerful protective factor for suicide, mental health challenges, and substance use.
Break the Stigma!
Stigma is a huge barrier to getting the help people need, and this event provides an opportunity to help break down the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide. It is also a way to remind everyone it’s okay to ask for help when we need it, and to share those vital resources on how and where to get that help. Finally this event encourages community connectedness; connecting with others is a powerful protective factor for suicide, mental health challenges, and substance use.
