Join in a day of festivities and community engagement on April 11 from 11am-3pm as Ijams Nature Center, UTK Sources of Strength and Contact Care Line bring you 'Spring Into Hope,' a vibrant and uplifting mental health awareness festival! With the arrival of spring, we come together to spread messages of hope, resilience, and support for ourselves and each other. This festival is a space for healing, learning, and connecting with others who understand the challenges we face. The day will be filled with community resources, art, nature walks, breakout sessions, hands-on activities, and discussions, with the goal of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and promote positive well-being for all. There will also be a listening lounge for those who need someone to talk to.
