This mental health fair focuses on the “WHOLE Self” said Jennifer Vanhorn. Her passion for establishing this mental health fair is because she has “witnessed the struggle of people who are wanting help, but clueless to where to begin or who to contact.” Her goal is to create a “bridge of transparency from the people to local providers and agencies who are equipped to address their unique needs. Mental health does not discriminate; therefore, we must all unite to address this need in our community. If one person can create a difference in their life from this mental health fair, we have done a good deed.”
