The EmpowerMinds event seeks to connect the community, stimulate conversations around mental health, and support the ongoing efforts to provide mental health services accessible to everyone. This event is particularly significant as it occurs during Suicide Prevention Month, further underscoring the importance of our collective efforts in mental health advocacy and support.

We invite media representatives to join us, cover this impactful event, and help spread the word about the importance of mental health awareness and community support. Interviews with keynote speakers and organizers can be arranged upon request.
