About this Event

What happens when we stop hiding the parts of our stories we’re taught to keep quiet?

During Mental Illness Awareness Week, Open Mic, Open Minds, is a space where these messages take center stage. The possibilities are endless: art, spoken word, music, poetry, personal stories, and moments of hope.

Come celebrate resilience. Mental illness is something we all experience, whether ourselves or in someone we love, and it's a topic we should be able to talk about openly.
