Walk In Our Shoes

Hello! Are you curious about what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes? Do you want to learn about other people’s lives? Curiosity and learning are great, so lace up, strap on, or slip on your sneakers and let’s learn about mental health. Learning about other people can help you understand that they’re still a lot like you — they’re just on a journey in different shoes.
