If your child has the flu, or breaks a bone, you take him or her to a doctor to make him or her well. But what if they’re hurting emotionally? Bradley Hospital believes that treating the mental health needs of children is just as important as healing them physically.

Mental illness is a disease as significant as cancer or diabetes yet it is still largely misunderstood and feared by many people. On Saturday, April 22, Bradley Hospital will host a 5K-road race to help “stomp out the stigma” of mental illness.

Registration is $20.00. Roller blades, bicycles, strollers and pets are not allowed in the race.
This race is sponsored by Gilbane Building Company and The RE/MAX offices of Rhode Island.
