The 2026 Healing Together Mental Health Fair was a beautiful reminder of what is possible when the community comes together with intention, compassion, and a shared commitment to wellness. This year’s event welcomed more than 300 attendees for a day filled with connection, resources, joy, and healing.
From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was filled with energy and encouragement. Community members explored vendor booths, connected with mental health and wellness organizations, gathered information about local programs and services, enjoyed delicious food from local food trucks, participated in crafts and activities, danced, entered giveaways, and spent meaningful time together in a welcoming, stigma-free environment.
One attendee shared a heartfelt reflection on her experience at the fair:
“Yesterday I attended the Our Mental Health Collective’s annual Fair and as always it did not disappoint. I got information on agencies and programs that my family can benefit from and some I can share. I got to reconnect with friends and colleagues and created new connections… This is what we need more of. More conversations, more spaces where we can find out how to access proper mental health care and talk to the service providers directly.”
The event was designed to create accessible pathways to care while also making room for joy, creativity, relationship-building, and authentic community connection. Whether attendees came to gather resources, support loved ones, volunteer, network, or simply enjoy the day, there was space for everyone to feel welcomed and supported.
Throughout the day, attendees had opportunities to engage with local businesses, nonprofits, therapists, wellness providers, and community organizations that are actively working to improve mental health access across Michigan. Families enjoyed child-friendly activities, vendors shared valuable resources and giveaways, and community conversations continued to remind us that healing does not happen in isolation.
Events like Healing Together are only possible because of collective support. We want to extend a sincere thank you to every sponsor, vendor, volunteer, food truck, performer, and community partner who helped make this event possible. Your continued support allows us to pour into our communities and create spaces where healing, education, and growth can thrive.
To every person who attended, shared resources, volunteered, danced, laughed, connected, or simply showed up — thank you. Together, we are continuing to build a stronger, healthier, and more connected community.
We cannot wait to see you next year!
