Mental Health Awareness Heroes organize for another outstanding event, see the GALLERY
From Jacob Witter, Founder of the Battling Mind Striders
The 2nd Annual Battling Mind Striders Mental Health Awareness Day was a success! Thank you to everyone who attended, especially NAMI Steuben, Fr. Mitch Byeck and Drew Evans.
On October 17, 2026, we came together to raise awareness about mental health by taking a walk through Wellsville and watching the movie It’s Kind of a Funny Story. The relaxed pace of the walk allowed everyone to participate and gave members of our community an opportunity to see us walking through town while carrying a mental health awareness flag. The movie also provided attendees with a chance to learn more about mental health while appreciating the humor woven throughout the story.
I also want to remind everyone that our walking group meets every Saturday at 10 a.m. at Catholic Charities in Wellsville, NY. We will keep you updated on our plans for 2027.
Always remember that BMS is here for all of you. Keep going, never give up, and know that you are not alone!
