— Miami Beach City Hall along with other local landmarks will show support for the
national movement —
Miami Beach City Hall will be among a number of local landmarks that will be bathed in green light starting at sunset tonight through Saturday May 22, 2021 to support Mental Health Awareness Month and the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
“The illumination of Miami Beach City Hall will coincide with the first virtual mental health walk in Miami-Dade this Saturday,” Miami Beach City Manager Alina T. Hudak explained. “The event is being led by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, which strives to reduce stigma toward the mentally ill. That’s a particularly relevant topic this year as we emerge from a global pandemic that has left so many people feeling isolated and vulnerable.”
Anyone wishing to join the NAMIWalks Your Way Miami-Dade virtual event on Saturday can decide how they want to participate — from walking on a treadmill at home to walking around outside in their neighborhood. They can also practice yoga or create a painting. Miami-Dade organizers plan to livestream Saturday’s opening ceremony.
