Today, we recognize Juneteenth, the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas learned of their freedom. We proudly celebrate the resilience, culture, and lasting contributions of the Black community.

And we remember the quote attributed to Jewish poet Emma Lazarus and civil rights leaders Fannie Lou Hamer and Maya Angelou: “Until we are all free, none of us are free.” While there is much to celebrate, there is much still to be done. And we are stronger together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Mental Health Awareness Community Celebration this past weekend and to the staff, partners, and volunteers who made it happen 💚

What a great day full of connection, creativity, music, and community! The event highlighted simple but powerful ways we can support our mental health every day.

Mental wellness isn’t just something that happens in clinical settings. It’s also built through getting outside, being creative, staying active, connecting with others, and making time for the things that bring us joy and a sense of belonging.

One of the highlights of the day was seeing people of all ages add their mark to the community graffiti mural, a colorful reminder that every person belongs, every voice matters, and we’re stronger when we come together.

By building connections and supporting one another, we’re creating a community where it’s okay to talk about mental health. Thank you for celebrating with us!
