About this Event


Join us for our 6th annual Healing Hearts and Minds as a vendor, healer, speaker or volunteer!
Attendance is free and open to the public!

Hello beautiful humans!

My name is Danielle Kelley, and I am the founder and coordinator of Healing Hearts and Minds—one event at a time. For the past five years, I have dedicated my time—and very limited resources—to offering the Monroeville community an annual event centered on hope, healing, mental health awareness, and suicide prevention.

This work is deeply personal. I have lived experience with mental health challenges and am a suicide attempt survivor from my teenage years. I come from a family impacted by generational trauma, which ultimately led me into the behavioral and mental health field professionally. I am a lifelong learner, passionate about creating trauma-informed environments and bringing meaningful awareness to mental health and suicide prevention.

I have also experienced devastating loss. I lost a friend to suicide, and one year later, I lost my sister to suicide on February 23, 2025. Grief has been a spiral—one that continues and changes—but through it all, I know this: community, connection, and awareness matter far more than we often realize. That belief is why I will continue to make Healing Hearts and Minds possible.

Thank you for being here. Life isn’t always smooth, and even as the butterflies begin to return with the warmer days, some of us are still carrying heavy seasons. Please remember this—you matter. Truly, you do.

Together, we are not alone. 💜💙

I do want to share an important reminder: there are currently scammers attempting to collect money from vendors. Please know that I am the only person who sends vendor applications and receives payments. If you are a vendor, please do not send money to anyone without confirming it is directly for our sixth annual Healing Hearts and Minds event.

Inspirational Chalk Messages & Blow Your Worries Away Station

Info: Share inspirational messages while expressing your creativity through our available chalk and sidewalks! At CHOP Network, we believe that every act of kindness reduces suicidal ideation and rates. You never know who may need to hear a positive message, even by a stranger! At our Blow your Worries Away station, attendees are invited to grab some bubbles and begin to release and drift their worries into the environment. The space we are creating enables participants to release and refocus on to more positive thoughts. (Until Supplies Last)
