Completed the walk? Take the survey.

The City of Green has received a mini grant from the Summit County ADM Board to build a Mindfulness Walk at Southgate Park, 5300 Massillon Rd. The goal of the trail is to promote mindfulness through the components focus and clarity. Mindfulness is being aware of or bringing attention to this moment in time, deliberately and without judging the experience. The idea of mindfulness helps individuals to separate the here and now from the past of thoughts of the future. 

One component of mindfulness, focus, concentrates on feelings of attentiveness and distractions. The mindfulness component of clarity can teach individuals how to redirect a wandering mind. Learning to be present in the moment rather than moving from one thought to another quickly is beneficial so that one can be mentally available and see clearly.

The Mindfulness Walk is an initiative of the Drug Task Force’s Mental Health Committee. In collaboration with Green High School Student Municipal Representatives, Eric Wolford, Aaryan Qureshi, Michael Rick, and Edgar San Jose, the Mindfulness Walk project was created to showcase mindful habits and routines that can be applied even after you’ve completed your walk.

If you are considering suicide, please call 988, the National Suicide Prevention hotline.

Suicide Prevention Month

Suicidal thoughts can negatively affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or social status. A person who is suicidal may feel that the pain they feel today is inescapable. Rather than being caught up in thoughts of the future or past, mindfulness ameliorates this through contact with psychological and environmental events in the moment. For the month of September, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies, and community members unite to promote suicide prevention awareness. The grand opening of the Mindfulness Walk and dedication is scheduled for September 10, 2022, at 10 am in recognition of Suicide Prevention Month.
