SUMMARY:Mental Health Resources Day
DESCRIPTION:  \nClick for Full Size! \n  \nOn January 18\, 2025\, Creative Mental Wellness is hosting the 2nd Annual MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DAY at the Judson Robinson Jr. Community Center (2020 Hermann Drive\, Houston\, Texas\, 77004) from 10:30 am to 2 pm. \nThe mission of 501(C)(3) CR38V3 M1ND5/(dba) Creative Mental Wellness involves filling in gaps in the mental health care system.  In addressing that goal\, we created MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DAY—essentially a mental health fair with vendors & speakers—to give community members the opportunity to learn more about what resources exist in the area for treatment and support for mental health\, behavioral health\, & substance use disorder while simultaneously encouraging the people who work in those fields to get to know one another better and collaborate with one another more frequently.  At MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DAY\, we are also highlighting organizations that help address needs people have that can negatively impact mental health. \nIn 2024\, we had speakers from NAMI Greater Houston\, Houston Police Department CIRT\, & SAMHSA explain what they do and their work in mental health/behavioral health/substance use disorder.  For 2025\, NAMI Greater Houston\, SAMHSA\, & the Houston Police Department CIRT are returning & will be joined by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention\, the Houston Food Bank\, UTHealth Houston Behavioral Sciences Campus\, Baylor College of Medicine/Menninger Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences\, Houston Recovery Center\, Veterans Affairs Suicide Prevention Program\, Harris Health\, & so many more valuable community resources to engage with the community and share information in an effort to avail community members to more support and care for significant health issues. \nMENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DAY 2025 will include speakers’ panels to discuss topics including grief/bereavement\, substance use disorder issues\, things to do to elevate/manage mental health/prevent crises & addressing the gaps in the mental health care system.  Representatives from various community resources will be assembled and discussions with be facilitated to talk about these important topics with the goal of providing the audience with interesting things to think about and maybe even share ideas to increase their quality of life. \nThe event will not only provide information\, but there will be activities to enjoy\, entertain\, and promote connections–even brief ones–with other people.  There will be a (free) workshop to create & decorate Gratitude Journals hosted by local artist Margaret Alvarez from My Artsy Coach\, a puppet show (ventriloquist Seanda Blocker will chat with DAISY The Mental Health Dachshund\, the puppet that likes to “talk” about mental health topics to normalize such discussions & de-stigmatize mental health disorders/mental illness)\, and we’re still working on other ideas so attendees can elevate their mental health while attending the event.  If you’d like to make a Gratitude Journal\, please scan the code below to register to help us provide enough materials for all who are interested in taking part in the workshop. \nIf you’re in the Houston area on January 18th\, we hope you will join us!  We’re working to make this annual event a helpful and enjoyable day for acquiring valuable information as well as elevating mental health through CONNECTION with people who care very much about enabling a better quality of life for all of us! We are also planning to give away some goodies to enhance the FUN factor! \nWHEN IT COMES TO MENTAL HEALTH\, IT’S NOT ABOUT GETTING TO THE FINISH LINE FIRST.  IT’S ABOUT US ALL GETTING THERE TOGETHER HEALTHIER! \n  \nCheck out Eventbrite for more details: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/mental-health-resources-day-tickets-1033767023997 \n  \nTo register for the Gratitude Journal Workshop and help ensure we have enough materials to provide to everyone interested in making a Gratitude Journal\, please scan or tap this code and sign up: \n \nFor questions\, email seanda@creative-mental-health.org. \n***Creative Mental Wellness is dedicated to promoting health and wants to expand this event to other cities…but it’s going to take building relationships to achieve such an undertaking.  We don’t want to step on any toes\, but we know how important it is to ensure communities have access to & can engage with many mental health/behavioral health/substance use disorder resources in 1 place (rather than having to spend hours or days or months or years trying to learn about what exists in their local communities).  If you are an organization that already hosts a similar event\, we would love to discuss partnering with you to build on what you’ve started.  If nothing exists in your area like MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DAY and you are interested in helping your community to more easily find treatment and support resources for mental health/behavioral health/substance use disorder challenges\, we would love to discuss working with you to create & host a similar event to enable a healthier community.  Please reach out on the contact page of this website or via email (seanda@creative-mental-health.org) to get a conversation started about working together to build a healthier community in your area.
