Alameda County Cares

People from all over have been gathering in Oakland for 15 years for Healing Hearts: Walk/Run/MOVE! for Suicide Prevention. This year, you’re invited to be a part of our very first Healing Hearts Day! Now, the activities are all day! You can join Crisis Support Services of Alameda County and friends at Lake Merritt for a 5K walk/run/MOVE!, movement classes, and a Health & Wellness Fair. Afterwards, you can support our services by visiting participating sites. All of these locations are donating a portion of their proceeds on May 17th to contribute to meeting our communities’ mental health needs. However YOU choose to engage, thank you for participating in collective care!

For 15 years, Healing Hearts has brought our community together to move through grief, cultivate resilience, and walk toward a future filled with hope. This year, we honor that legacy by deepening our commitment to collective healing, connection, and belonging. Whether you walk, run, roll, or dance—your movement makes a difference. We remember those we’ve lost, uplift those who are struggling, and affirm that no one has to try to heal alone. Let’s move forward—together.
