Mental health deserves more attention, which is why the Wichita Journalism Collaborative is bringing the community together for Mind Fest 2021. It's the culmination of "Mindful Solutions," a series focused on mental health from the Wichita Journalism Collaborative—a coalition of 10 local newsrooms and community institutions.

Mind Fest 2021 will bring the community together for FREE:

• Trusted mental health support
• Live music from Pretend Friend, Daisy Sosa, and Crusoe
• Nachos from Adios Nachoria
• Massages by therapists Criseyde Graham and Stephanie Wells
• Yoga provided by Limitless Yoga

This is a safe space for learning more about mental health concerns while relaxing and having fun. Open to all ages!

**The first 250 attendees will receive a gift bag and relaxation items like mindfulness journals, sleep masks, and hot/cold packs.**

Participating organizations:

• VA Medical Center
