Celebrate Children’s Mental Health at Thrive Fest 2025
Youth and families are invited to enjoy this free event with interactive activities, inspiring speakers from the community, and local health resources.
What is Thrive Fest?
Thrive Fest is all about bringing the community together to kick-off Children’s Mental Health Acceptance Day, which aims to challenge harmful attitudes that prevent people from seeking care and encourage everyone to speak openly about mental health.
There will be plenty of fun games, workshops, and performances— plus a chance to meet mental health organizations that want to help you and your family succeed.
