The Mental Health Fair coming to Delta wants to break stigma and bring awareness to local mental health resources.
Brandon Hillaker, founder of the Tri-Sports Club at Delta, has teamed up with other students, Delta staff and several local resources to bring a two-day Mental Health Fair to Delta. The event will take place Monday, April 22, 2024, and Tuesday, April 23, 2024, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
“One in five people have mental illness. Everybody knows somebody with a mental illness, if your child has it, your brother has it [or] your friend has it, this is the place to come get resources,” says Hillaker.
The fair plans to host up to 30 local mental health resources; bringing in 15 resources each day. These 15 organizations will have tables set up and be available to meet. Anyone not able to attend in person can learn more via Zoom, where different organizations will be interviewed regarding what they provide for the community.
