A wonderful day in the community with mental health providers.
It was great connecting with professionals and students across the field-from undergraduate and graduate students and psychology interns to psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and counselors. We shared, connected, and supported one another while building a stronger mental health community.
We also had the opportunity to support a Black-owned business. Thank you to Louie's Italian Ice for welcoming us and providing a great space to gather.
We joined NAMI St. Louis as a vendor in their Pathways to Hope Conference, in partnership with Harris-Stowe State University and Bridges to Care & Recovery
