Strike Out Stigma Baseball Night Returns for its 8th Year
An Evening of Connection, Mental Health Resources, and Community Support
The Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH), in partnership with local community providers and the Montgomery Biscuits, invites the public to attend Strike Out Stigma Night on Friday, May 8 at 6:35 p.m. at DABOS Park (formerly known as Riverwalk Stadium).
More than 1.5 million Alabamians experience mental illness or substance use disorders each year (Mental Health America, 2025). Despite how common these challenges are, stigma continues to prevent many from seeking the help they need. Strike Out Stigma Night aims to break down those barriers by creating a welcoming, approachable space for education, conversation, and connection.
This annual event brings together baseball fans, families, and community organizations for an evening focused on raising awareness about mental health, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions, while connecting individuals directly to resources and support.
Before and throughout the game, attendees have the opportunity to visit provider resource tables located in the stadium. These community partners will offer information, answer questions, and connect individuals and families to services available across the River Region.
Participating providers and partners include:
• NAMI Alabama
• Council on Substance Abuse (COSA)
• Carastar Health
• Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs
• Wings Across Alabama
• Recovery Organization of Support Specialists (ROSS)
• Oxford House
• Mental Health America – Montgomery
• New Season Montgomery Metro Treatment Center
Strike Out Stigma Night highlights the importance of community collaboration in supporting mental wellness and recovery. Whether you’re seeking resources for yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply want to learn more, this event offers a meaningful way to engage.
