SUMMARY:Steps of Change- Walk A Mile In My Shoes
DESCRIPTION:The "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" event aims to bring awareness to 
 the stigma associated with addiction and homelessness. It will feature a s
 hoe memorial to honor family members who continue to struggle or have pass
 ed away due to substance use disorder\, as well as those facing homelessne
 ss. The public is welcome\, and children are encouraged to attend.\n\nStep
 s of Change is a national initiative leveraging the power of families affe
 cted by substance use to:\n- Break the silence\, stigma\, and shame\n- Emb
 race evidence-based information and discard outdated beliefs\n- Show famil
 ies and loved ones impacted by substance use and homelessness that they ar
 e not alone\n\nThis year\, we will display 237 pairs of adult shoes (based
  on LCCH Feb 2024 data) and 103 pairs of children's shoes to represent tho
 se considered homeless by the Newark Schools system (2026). Over 200 pairs
  of shoes were displayed in previous years to honor those who succumbed to
  substance use disorder. We expect many families to bring shoes to represe
 nt their loved ones again this year. All shoes\, except those donated in m
 emory of loved ones lost to substance use disorder\, will be given to thos
 e in need through the Newark Homeless Outreach and other local organizatio
 ns.\nFun for all- Special appearance by K-Pop the demon hunter/Tiger\, bou
 nce house and other kid friendly things to do.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/e
