Focus on Fests
In a culture that stigmatizes people living with mental illness, Focus on Fests challenges audiences to understand the person behind the labels. Focus on Fests strives to humanize them as, chances are, you know someone who is touched by mental illness. Films, panels and presentations are just the beginning!
With an annual showcase fest in Salt Lake City and touring fest, FoF will be near you soon. Bring FoF to you? Contact us!

Wander Wonder
Nature is beautifully complex and creative. After a 30 - 45 minute walk we will create art inspired by nature.
A Mental Healthy Mentor will host and guide attendees on a creative and mindful meander. Everybody can move at their own pace, both in body and mind. Join us for a break from the busy world to engage in some inspiration and motivation for your mental health.
