Monday, August 27, 2018, is a historic day as the Minnesota State Fair hosts its first-ever Mental Health Awareness Day. We encourage you to join the Minnesota State Advisory Council on Mental Health and Subcommittee on Children’s Mental Health and the National Alliance on Mental Illness-Minnesota (NAMI Minnesota) for this special day.
We invite you to explore mental health and wellness resources through inspiring stage performances, music, demonstrations, yoga, information, and more. More than 30 awareness-raising activities, many of them geared for children and teens, will be offered.
