Help “unmask” mental illness and show that we do not have to hide mental illness. The Halloween themed "5Kate" event is an opportunity for people to show that it is time to stop the discrimination and stigma surrounding mental illness and instead insist on better care and greater understanding and compassion.
The Katie Foundation has joined with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the Katie’s Place Clubhouse to sponsor this event to create awareness, education, and support for everyone who experiences mental illness.
