This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re inviting peer recovery specialists, partners, and communities across New Jersey to come together for a free, month-long virtual walking challenge.

We’re working toward one shared goal—walking the distance around the world (24,901 miles)—one step at a time.

This isn’t about competition. It’s about:
💚 Supporting our own wellness
🤝 Strengthening connection across the peer community
🧠 Raising awareness for mental health and recovery
🌱 Showing up—for ourselves and each other

Every step helps break stigma, build community, and remind us that we don’t do this work alone.

👟 Walk at your own pace
📱 Track your steps from anywhere
🌍 Be part of something bigger

Join us and take your steps with purpose.
