Virtual Strides of Hope Walk 2021

The Schizophrenia Society of Alberta invites you to participate in our Virtual Strides of Hope walk on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 in recognition of World Schizophrenia Day. 

It's easy! Wear purple or white, take a walk, snap a photo and share on your social media using the hashtags #SSAStridesofHope and #WorldSchizophreniaDay. You can also use our Facebook frame by updating your profile picture and searching 'SSA World Schizophrenia Day'. Schizophrenia is a treatable brain disorder. With medical care and the understanding and support from a caring community, recovery is possible! Every step will get us closer to our goals, raising awareness and reducing stigma.

To help us build awareness and support those affected by schizophrenia, please feel free to create your own message or use one of our sample social media posts below:
