Mayor Sylvester Turner<\/h2>\n
\u201cWe talk about cancer, Alzheimer\u2019s and heart disease but we shy away from talking about mental health; nearly 1 in 3 Americans will have a mental health condition in their lifetime so it\u2019s just as prevalent as some of those other health conditions. It\u2019s treatable and people can live normal lives if they get the help they need. Join me in starting a positive public dialogue for change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to the day that mental health care is as common and practical as going for a check up. Until then, we will keep working to remove the stigma of mental health, and we will teach each other not to blame those who suffer from afflictions. Let\u2019s get moving!\u201d<\/p>\n

Annise Parker \u2013 Form Houston Mayor<\/h2>\n\u201cMany Americans deal with mental illness every day. We need to talk about it more\u2014but beyond that we need to take action for people living with PTSD or schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or fighting against panic attacks and depression. We can make a difference for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI support the Mental Health Walk because as a former educator I know how important it is to raise awareness of mental health in our schools, our communities, and our city. People with mental health challenges need all the support they can get and supporting the Mental Health Walk is a great place to start raising awareness of this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
