Before the pandemic, Community-Minded Enterprises' Hands Across the Falls brought people in recovery together in a powerful act of visibility. Members of the community lined the Monroe Street Bridge to say, “We are here. We matter. And recovery is possible.”
In offices, parks, schools, places of worship, or anywhere they gather. Whether it’s a personal story, a moment of solidarity, or a message of support, each post becomes part of something bigger.
Starting in September and into early October, individuals, families, businesses, and organizations are invited to take part in a social campaign by sharing what mental health means to them, and who they stand beside.
Using the hashtag #HandsAcrossSpokane, we’re inviting our community to post photos and stories showing themselves joining hands with friends, coworkers, or neighbors. In offices, parks, schools, places of worship, or anywhere they gather. Whether it’s a personal story, a moment of solidarity, or a message of support, each post becomes part of something bigger.

Hands Across Spokane honors the legacy of Hands Across the Falls by taking what began on the Monroe Street Bridge and bringing it into our neighborhoods, our businesses, our city streets, and beyond.
Mental health means something different to each of us. It might look like depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma, stress, or substance use. No matter how it shows up, it affects all of us.
When we stand for health, connection, and care, we make Spokane stronger, together.
This movement culminates on Friday, October 10th, with our Hands Across Spokane resource fair on Shannon Avenue, outside our new North Central Community Mental Health & Development Center. This free, family-friendly event featuring service providers, peer organizations, educators, employers, and community leaders.
