As a member of the organizing committee, I would like to introduce you to the Cape Town Recovery Walk: an annual family-friendly event, where we walk to celebrate recovery from addictions and mental illnesses and challenge the associated stigma and shame surrounding treatment and recovery.
This year, on Saturday 17 September 2022, the 8th Cape Town Recovery Walk will be held in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town. We will gather at Lentegeur Psychiatric Hospital and walk together on a planned route with banners and posters that convey positive recovery messages. On our return, there will be an open mic stage where people will be given the opportunity to share their recovery journeys. Food stalls and fun activities will also be available. Information stalls and smaller group activities are encouraged.
If you are in recovery, seeking recovery, supportive of recovery, or working in the mental health field, we invite you and your family to please join us.
