According to recent research, one in four U.S. adults experiences mental illness each year, and nearly 8 million children and adolescents in the U.S. battle with serious mental illness. Many of these individuals struggle in silence without receiving support. At Moraine Park Technical College, we care about the well-being of our community.
IMALIVE Mental Health Fair is a program behind the suicide prevention network, 1-800-SUICIDE, and the world’s first virtual crisis center. The founder of IMALIVE, Reese Butler II, created this program after losing his wife to suicide in 1998. His goal was to educate young adults on recognizing warning signs, spark conversations about mental health, suicide prevention, and raise awareness. Join us on September 24th, from 10AM – 1PM, for this fun, interactive, and educational event that raises awareness of mental health and suicide prevention. IMALIVE Mental Health Fair isn’t only an opportunity to learn, but also a chance to make a real impact. Whether you’re learning something new or enjoying activities like graffiti art, brain games, and “Fact or Fiction,” every part of the day is designed to inspire, engage, and unite our community to support mental health awareness. Plus, you could walk away with some awesome prizes and get snuggles from our Therapy Dogs which are sponsored by Infinite Possibilities Animals, Inc! Mark your calendars, bring your friends, and create a world of awareness and understanding together! FREE lunch for all MPTC students who participate in the fair!
