14th Annual Walk for Mental Health 2026



Dear Panhandle Community,
1 in 5 people are affected by mental illness - our families, our friends, our neighbors, church members, and our community. Often, substance abuse, school and work problems, family dysfunction, homelessness, and suicide are caused by the underlying issue of mental illness. It affects Amarillo. It affects us. Let's walk together to: raise awareness, end stigma, encourage treatment, and improve mental health services in our community.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 10, 1-5 pm at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, 1601 S. Georgia St. (Courtyard area, Bryan st. side), We are encouraging our community leaders, mental health peers, families, friends and health providers to walk with us and donate to our cause. This year we will have live entertainment and food, but no t-shirts or registration fees. Booths are allowed.
