Join FEAP, the Contemplative Sciences Center, and Hoos Well for the third-annual Well-Being Walk, a one-mile journey of connection and support in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month. This one-mile walk invites UVA faculty, staff, and students to step away from the day-to-day and into a space of reflection, connection, and support. Whether you walk in quiet or in conversation, the experience is designed to meet you where you are. There will be light snacks and time to connect through resource tables and brief remarks from our partners.
