One Thing I Wish You Knew Community Mental Health Event (2025)

👋 Welcome to our third annual One Thing I Wish You Knew community mental health event which is co-hosted by the Friendship Circle of Wisconsin and REDgen. Join us for an evening of heartfelt conversations and authentic connections. Four local teens will share their vulnerabilities and experiences with mental health and the challenges they face.

📊 Our 2024 event saw over 500 attendees, including 200 teens and nearly 300 adults, comprised of educators, mental and behavioral health professionals, nonprofit leaders, parents, and caregivers.
