Community Mental Health Celebration
Community Mental Health Celebration
We will be having a "Community Mental Health Celebration" in order to spread awareness of Mental Health. There will be several mental health agencies in audience and speaking briefly on what they have been doing and what their hopes are. Then, we will celebrate.
There will be live music and poetry from local artists in the Southwest region. The event is open to the public and all ages and walks of life are encouraged to attend- either for more information, or for the love of arts. The goal is to continue creating lighter and more convivial spaces to discuss topics like mental health and bring the community closer together on a common ground.
We will have guest speakers: Senator Carrie Hamblen, Kristin Drake of PEAK Behavioral, & more.
Music from: (El Paso) Forester, (El Paso) Cassie & David, (Albuquerque) Nicholas Roche, (Las Cruces) Taylor Paul
Poetry from: (El Paso) Richie D. Marrufo, (Las Cruces) Tim Staley, (El Paso) Chauncey, (Las Cruces) Mel, (Las Cruces) Saul, (El Paso) Cassie, (El Paso) David, (Las Cruces) Lizard King
NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Southern New Mexico will be tabling, as well as the Las Cruces Suicide Prevention Task Force to give you more information on resources.
