Mental health is a topic that some might feel uncomfortable talking about. In St. Louis Park, there's one event trying to change that. The "Be the Light" walk brought together hundreds of community members, all united in their commitment to raise awareness about mental health issues. Participants donned bright T-shirts and carried signs, demonstrating their support for those affected by mental health challenges.

The event featured inspiring speakers who shared personal stories and emphasized the importance of open conversations surrounding mental health. Attendees were encouraged to engage in discussions, break down stigmas, and foster a supportive environment. Activities included wellness booths, resource tables, and opportunities for participants to learn about local mental health services.

As the sun set, a symbolic lighting ceremony took place, illuminating the path for all who struggle with mental health. The event not only aimed to raise awareness but also to inspire hope and solidarity within the community.
