Press Release 1: Community Healing Walk Announcement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“This walk is a reminder that none of us are alone,” said [Chapter Leader Name]. “We walk to honor, to heal, and to show our community that every story matters.”
This free event is open to the public. Mental health organizations will be present to offer local resources and support.
