What's Happening in Boise, ID…

A march recently took place in Boise that was intended to draw attention to the issue of mental health in the state.

The National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) sponsored the event, which started at the Anne Frank Memorial and wound its way through the city, eventually ending up at the state capitol. Those who took part were greeted at the commencement of the march by Cherie Buckner-Webb, who is a state lawmaker, as well as Police Chief Bill Bones and Councilman T.J. Thompson. Banners can be a way for the participants in this type of demonstration to get the word out about the cause for which they are marching.

Alex Copple, who spoke on behalf of the NAMI, noted that it is important that people feel more free to talk about the issue of mental health and remove the stigma that surrounds it. He also pointed out that it is something that affects many people throughout the state.

The march attracted a big turnout, which was taken as a positive sign that more and more people are becoming aware of the importance of mental health issues, and that the time has come for them to be adequately addressed

It is estimated that one out of every five people in the United States is living with a mental illness, and that many of them are not receiving treatment.
