The Castle

What a great day to be fishing at Oak Grove Park! Thank St George's Episcopal Church and Wilmington College's OT students.

A heartfelt thank you to State Senator Willis Blackshear, Jr for his 72 mile walk from Dayton to the Ohio Statehouse in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Your presence and commitment to raising awareness about mental health means so much to our community.

It was our pleasure and our honor to meet you on your path and stand with you, and to thank you, and to encourage you on your path. With a heartfelt thanks to our volunteer Mike Fanelli for walking along the path with Senator Blackshear representing The Castle and coordinating the meet up with him.

And a special thanks to Erin for stepping forward and letting everyone know what the support of The Castle means to her on her mental health recovery path.

Together, we are helping break the stigma, encouraging conversations, and remind people that they are never alone. Thank you for standing with us and helping make mental health a priority for everyone. 💚

At mile 10 of his walk, Senator Blackshear connected with members of The Castle in Montgomery County to highlight the important role community plays in mental health and wellness. To learn more about The Castle, visit friendsatthecastle.com.
