About this Event
Held in partnership between SASCC (Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council) and CASSY (Counseling and Support Services for Youth), the SASCC Health Fair 2022 intends to raise awareness around the parallels in mental health experienced across generations, de-stigmatize mental health, and create opportunities for healing after one of the most challenging periods in history.
Through workshops, on-site counseling, resource tables, and Age-Friendly activities, this event will offer a space where people can gain tools to support their mental health, feel seen and heard, have fun, and leave feeling renewed and hopeful for the future.
In addition to our focus on mental health, the SASCC Health Fair 2022 will also host traditional health screenings for blood pressure, hearing, vision, etc.
We’ve partnered with Counseling & Support Services for Youth (CASSY) to create this toolkit for you to explore healing through art making and reflection. CASSY partners with Bay Area schools to provide resources and professional, on-campus mental health services to students free of charge. We hope to connect the NUMU community to CASSY as a mental health resource, and provide some inspiration for youth, families, and adults to turn to art making in difficult moments of life. Through art we can reveal how we feel, take steps to heal, build empathy, and share our experiences with others.
