Description

Potential Place is pleased to announce our virtual World Mental Health Day 2020 celebration! On Friday, Oct 9th, Potential Place will be hosting a virtual event over Zoom from 5 PM to 7 PM MST. Join us in our movement to de-stigmatize mental illness, showcase lived experiences. educate about the accessibility and importance of CBT, and celebrate how far we've come.

Tickets will be $10 - all proceeds go towards Potential Place and providing essential mental health services to our members.

This year's World Mental Health Day theme is Mental Health for All - Greater Investment & Greater Access. As described on the WMHD website:

"Mental health is a human right – it’s time that mental health is available for all. Quality, accessible primary health care is the foundation for universal health coverage and is urgently required as the world grapples with the current health emergency.

We therefore need to make mental health a reality for all – for everyone, everywhere."

At Potential Place, we work to maintain a vibrant community of individuals seeking to overcome barriers presented by mental illness. We envision a world where people with mental illness can recover and are an integral part of society.

As the theme this year is Mental Health for All, we will be focusing on accessibility and education. We will feature special key note speaker and CBT specialist Jeff Riggenbach, hear insightful stories from members on their lived experiences with mental illness, and showcase three short films on mental health. We will also be giving away raffle prizes to attendees throughout the evening!
