Join us for our 4th annual community walk & ice cream social to take action for mental health!
2023 Recap: We had so much fun last year - check out this video to learn about what this event is all about!
Moving From Awareness To Action
The worldwide Mental Health Action Day Movement, powered by MTV Entertainment, began in 2021. Since then, a coalition of more than 2,000 nonprofits, brands, government agencies, and influential leaders from 32 countries has come together each May to shift our mental health culture from awareness to action! Simply Bee is proud to be a part of this group of organizations spreading the message that, just like our physical health, we can take actions to improve our mental health, too.
This year's Mental Health Action Day is focused on empowering people to dedicate 1 hour to connection. In alignment with this theme, we're thrilled to host our 4th annual community walk - a perfect opportunity to gather and connect with our community!
