Rebloom Community Health and Wellness hosted the second annual Stick It To Stigma free mental health event in Strathmore.
Stick It To Stigma took place on Saturday (Sept. 6) at the Strathmore Civic Centre and featured free pizza, family-friendly activities, and several speakers.
"The event is to showcase all of the resources we have in and around Strathmore," said Halle Cockx, owner of Rebloom. "It's all focused on mental health and bringing the community together to break the stigma around mental health."
Some of the activities included journal building, face painting, and giant Jenga. There were also bounce castles and adoptable puppies, brought in by local animal adoption service Rescued Paws.
"In rural communities, usually the mental health stigma is a little higher, so being able to get people talking about mental health and learning more allows it to be less stigmatized and allows people to be more comfortable expressing their feelings and needs," added Cockx.
This was the second time that the event had been hosted in Strathmore.
