The Optimal Health Foundation is proud to announce its upcoming free event, “Minds Matter: A Mental Health Awareness Banquet,” which will be held on May 20th, 2023, from 5pm to 8pm at the Senior Family Center located at 18330 NW 12th Avenue in Miami Gardens.

Mental health is a crucial issue that affects millions of people worldwide, and unfortunately, many individuals do not receive the support they need to manage their mental health conditions. The Minds Matter event aims to shed light on this issue and provide resources and support to individuals, including those who face additional barriers such as low income, minimal support system, low education, and other social determinants.

This free event will feature guest speakers and entertainment focused on mental health management, self-care, and coping strategies. We believe that by bringing together community members, mental health professionals, advocates, and caregivers, we can create a more supportive and understanding community for those affected by mental health issues.
