This year the theme of the walk is Building Together for Generation Peace. The vision of Louis D. Brown Peace Institute is “to create and sustain an environment where all families can live in peace and all people are valued”. As a center for healing, teaching, and learning around issues of trauma, grief, and loss, the institute provides training, counseling, workshops, and curricula for individuals, families, and communities.
