With a rush of challenges this year, so many emotions and triggers it seems in every which direction, we're stepping up to provide resources and care across Mississippi. We're grateful that so many of our community partners have committed to walking alongside us this year! We've grown our mantra, mission, and motivation — Mental Health for All in Columbus and Oxford. Next up, we're in Jackson and Hattiesburg this Saturday, Oct 5th, and we would love to see your smiling faces from 9am–12pm!
