The Minds in Motion Initiative: An Evaluation

Homes for Mental Health, Inc. This initiative has three main goals: to assist mental health

consumers in the recovery process by providing access to physical health activities, to raise

awareness in the community at large about mental health issues, and to provide a unique

walking race experience for athletes and amateurs alike. The study will evaluate the

effectiveness of this project in reaching these three goals through the collection and analysis

of both numerical and narrative data from key participants in MIMI. The project will be guided

by a steering committee composed of mental health consumers, their family members, staff

members of Waterloo Regional Homes, and members of the community at large. This

research aims to contribute both to the development of MIMI and to the literature regarding

community-based mental health.
