🦃 Turkey Trot and Men's Mental Health Awareness Walk Set for November 24 at TCAT Upper Cumberland in Pikeville, TN 💙

🌄 Bledsoe County lies within the Sequatchie Valley region, and its community colleges and technical programs often serve as gathering points for students, staff, and neighbors across the area. This fall, TCAT Upper Cumberland at Bledsoe County is pairing a seasonal walk with a conversation about men’s mental health, an approach that reaches readers across the valley and the Cumberland Plateau edge.

💙 Recognizing Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month
