MINDfest: Caring for the Mind, Body, and Spirit is a free, community event that promotes mental health and well-being with music, cultural learning, entertainment, art, vendors, interactive workshops and more. The primary objectives of MINDfest are to create an inspiring, informative, and inclusive space that brings diverse communities together to promote dialogue about mental health, and to connect people to the resources and services they need to thrive. The event is free but we encourage all attendees to register!

The event will be held on May 9, 2024, at the wonderful Skagit Valley Community College campus, in Mount Vernon, WA. It is conceived and organized by the Mental Health Matters of Washington (MHMWA) team: Ana Thompson, Clarissa Carlos, Edith Huerta, Jody Early, Monika Star, Nohemí Rivera, and Sandra Huber. We are grateful to our co-organizer this year, the team from Skagit Valley College.

MHMWA is funded by Skagit Public Health, UW Bothell, and the North Sound Accountable Communities of Health. We also wish to thank to all of the speakers, practitioners, and service providers who are helping to make this a memorable and fun experience!
