Robert-Ann Foundation Announces 2026 Minority Mental Health 5K in Raleigh
July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to recognizing the mental health challenges affecting racial and ethnic minority communities while expanding access to education, support and culturally responsive resources.
To help turn awareness into community action, the Robert-Ann Foundation will host its 4th Annual Minority Mental Health 5K Walk & Run on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Anderson Point Park in Raleigh.
Minority Mental Health 5K Walk & Run Details
Date: Saturday, July 25, 2026
Time: 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
Location: Anderson Point Park, Raleigh, North Carolina
Host: Robert-Ann Foundation
Theme: “Community”
Walkers, runners, volunteers, families, local organizations and community partners are invited to participate.
This year’s theme, “Community,” highlights the idea that meaningful change happens when people come together with compassion, purpose and action.
Why Minority Mental Health Awareness Matters
Minority and underserved communities can encounter significant barriers when seeking mental health care. Those barriers may include cost, limited access to providers, cultural stigma, discrimination, language differences and a shortage of professionals who understand a community’s lived experiences.
Minority Mental Health Awareness Month encourages communities to:
The Robert-Ann Foundation’s annual walk and run creates a welcoming space where Raleigh residents can raise awareness, find community resources and support people affected by mental health challenges.
Ways to Participate in the Raleigh 5K
There are several ways for individuals, families, businesses and organizations to support the 2026 Minority Mental Health 5K.
Register as a Walker or Runner
Community members can walk or run to show their support for mental health awareness. Participants are encouraged to invite family members, friends, coworkers, church groups and community organizations.
Become a Community Partner
Local organizations can participate as community partners and share their programs, services and resources with attendees.
Community-partner participation is free, giving nonprofits and service providers an opportunity to reach residents who may benefit from their work.
Volunteer at the Event
Volunteers are needed to help the Robert-Ann Foundation create a safe, welcoming and successful experience.
Volunteer roles may support event setup, participant check-in, course activities, resource areas and other event-day needs.
Participate as a Vendor
Organizations and vendors interested in participating should complete the appropriate online registration form.
Vendor registration deadline: Monday, July 20, 2026
Additional logistics and next steps will be provided following registration.
Building a Healthier Raleigh Community
Mental health awareness should extend beyond a single month or event. Lasting progress requires accessible services, informed communities and supportive environments where people feel safe asking for help.
By walking, running, volunteering or sharing resources, participants can help reduce stigma and demonstrate that mental health is a community priority.
The Robert-Ann Foundation looks forward to welcoming Raleigh residents to Anderson Point Park on July 25 as the community walks, runs and stands together for minority mental health.
Together, Raleigh can raise awareness, inspire hope and remind those who are struggling that they are not alone.

from the therapy I have ideas for doing various things regularly and have added to that list:
Tired - if I feel tired, rest
Reading
I can do anything - affirmation
Meditation
Negative thoughts that arise if I break keto
Gratitude
Grounding - focus on five things I can see, four things I can touch etc as a form of mindfulness
Box breathing
Deep breathing
Safe place - visualize where I feel safe

People have been saying for time that many of us should distance ourselves from toxicity.
Recently I decided to finally do that with two family and it immediately freed up this weight that I didn't know that I had been carrying and now I suddenly have even more joy for other people. :)
I haven't been doing my ergonomic exercises; so this morning my eyelid stuck to my eyeball for the first time in ages. It's very sensitive to light now; but it will pass in a few days and then I will be able to see clearly again with both eyes.

"Research indicates that individuals from marginalized racial groups, particularly Black and ethnic minorities, experience higher rates of schizophrenia. This disparity is often linked to systemic racism and biases in mental health diagnoses."

I got irritable with my therapist today for the first time.
I used my words and she thanked me.
I was then able to realize why. Bc I had broken #keto the night before and that when that happens I become insanely hungry for high glycemic carbohydrates like bread; but I hadn't eaten today; so I had a keto friendly soda and was no longer irritable again. :)
"Now, there's also music, of course, that's sad and melancholic. And that also has its place. It's not that we shouldn't listen to sad and melancholic music when we're feeling sad and melancholic. In fact, these songs can give voice, and give words, and give feelings for some of the things that we're finding hard to express inside ourselves."
