Working to break the stigma

John and Eliana Stephens work on decorating the starting line on the Mountain Home community walking path as they participate in the Tigers' Mental Health Awareness Walk on Saturday. Students from the Health Occupations Students of America club at Mountain Home High School held the walk in conjunction with the National Alliance on Mental Health Illness. The effort seeks to break the negative stigma associated with mental health-related issues while helping to improve the lives of millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
