MINDA Malaysia, a non-governmental body representing Mental Health Family Support groups in various states in the country, is holding a nation-wide Big Walk in conjunction with World Mental Health Day in October 2010. The event will be held simultaneously in all MINDA Malaysia member states and organized jointly with the respective member state Mental Health Associations.

The objectives of this nation-wide Big Walk are as follows:

• To create better public awareness on mental health and mental disorders
• To destigmatise ‘MENTAL ILLNESS’ by fostering positive and supportive public attitudes towards mental health and the mentally ill
• To advocate for the rights, well-being and public support for the mentally ill
• To raise funds for MINDA Malaysia/respective MINDA Malaysia’s member organizations.

They are targeting for a minimum of 3000 participants for this event and would like to invite organizations to consider sending as many participants as possible in support of Mental Health for our nation

Those who are interested are requested to register early with the MMHA Malaysian Mental Health Association.
