— Dallas Cowboys Assistant Defensive Line Coach Greg Ellis and the Dallas Park and Recreation Department are teaming up to advocate for and support mental health
awareness in Dallas communities, particularly those of color. Highlighting the partnership is a
FREE Wellness Summit on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at Singing Hills Recreation Center, 6805
Patrol Way, Dallas, Texas 75241.
Getting My Help Mental Wellness Walk and Fair hosted by influencer and media
personality Lady Jade will feature an energetic 5K walk, informative workshops, various mental
health resources, refreshments, and entertainment provided by radio stations 97.9 The Beat &
Majic 94.5. Event registration is available on Eventbrite.com or click here.
Ellis, who played 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, is encouraging families, groups,
and those impacted by mental health challenges to participate. Family, close friends and some
current and former NFL Players will join him on the walk. The summit will challenge myths and
stigmas often associated with discussing and seeking therapy for mental health issues.
“The need for everyone to really look at their mental health is more critical now more
than ever before. Self-care is the key to managing our mental and emotional health. That’s
especially important for youth because one-third of American teens are sharing their concerns
about their mental health. In communities of color, statistics show that they struggle with their
mental health at higher rates than others,” said Ellis.
Registration for the 5K and one-mile walk begins at 8 a.m. Leading pre-walk warmups is
former UFC Mixed Martial Arts Champion Dr. Guy Mezger, CEO of Mezger Martial Arts and
holistic health practitioner at Optimal Health Solutions.
Interactive breakout sessions from 9 a.m. to noon will explore emotional and mental
wellbeing with topics including the significance and benefits of therapy, finding the right
therapist, coping with grief and loss, mediation, and a.m. mindfulness activities including yoga,
dance, and cooking demonstrations. Closing out the event will be Camille Thompson’s MOM
CREW & iDANZ
