On May 3, 2025, the Paul I. Phillips Boys & Girls Club was transformed into a vibrant hub of joy, connection, and collective care as nearly 300 people came together for Healing Together: A Mental Health & Wellness Fair for Communities of Color. Hosted by Our Mental Health Collective, this annual event stands as a powerful reflection of our commitment to culturally informed mental health, intergenerational healing, and accessible wellness for historically marginalized communities.
From the moment the doors opened, the energy was electric. A total of 291 guests, including children, gathered to participate in a day filled with celebration and substance. Whether exploring resource tables, attending educational breakout sessions, or dancing to the sounds of DJ James Burgen, there was something for everyone.
The day included:
- 10 expert speakers and facilitators leading breakout sessions on topics like:
- Redefining strength and self-worth
- Intergenerational family healing and parenting support
- Mental health disparities within the Latinx community
- Maternal health equity
- Holistic wellness and body liberation
- Support for BIPOC 2SLGBTQIA+ clinicians through the EquiPulse panel
- 30 vendors offering services and resources — from therapeutic practices to community organizations and wellness brands
- Face painting, bounce houses, yoga, acupuncture, and youth enrichment activities that created space for families to enjoy and unwind together
- 6 generous sponsors who made this event possible through their advocacy and investment in mental wellness
This event would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community sponsors, who showed up not only with funding but with intention, presence, and care.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership in helping bring culturally responsive care to the forefront.
Healing Together was more than a fair — it was a community-driven statement: that our wellness matters, our voices deserve to be heard, and our stories are worth investing in.
Our hope is that attendees left with resources in hand and a deeper sense of empowerment on their mental health journeys. Together, we proved that healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in community.
Let’s keep showing up for one another. Let’s keep healing together. 🫶🏽
