Founded and led by Coach Bala Sankaran, RHWB events are known for their energy, enthusiasm, and strong sense of community. RHWB has started promoting mental health in addition to physical health. RHWB Founder, Bala’s vision is for the “physical and mental health to come together.”

SAMHIN will be tabling at RHWB’s racing event at Johnson Park in Piscataway, NJ. This event offers a valuable opportunity for participants to connect with SAMHIN’s team of mental health professionals, engage in open conversations about mental health, and access reliable information in a supportive environment.
