Let’s stop mental health stigma together! Join us for the 4th annual Mindfest - an all-day mental health and wellness fair, taking place on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 as part of National Mental Illness Awareness Week.

Mindfest aims to raise awareness about mental health, highlight the support systems available to those who need them, and strives to erase mental health stigma. Mindfest has fun exhibit booths, mental health community organization representatives, workshops, guest speakers, stand-up comedy, yoga and other interactive activities. The event is free and open to the public – attendees are able to pick and choose from many different programs and workshops to learn more about mental health and mental illness.
