OSBURN — Silver Valley CARES will host its fourth annual Mental Health Fair on Saturday at Gene Day Park in Osburn, bringing together local organizations, service providers and families for a free event focused on mental health awareness, wellness and community support. 

The free fair will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is designed to help residents connect with resources available throughout the Silver Valley and surrounding communities.

Attendees will have the opportunity to visit resource booths while learning about mental health, wellness and support services. The event will also feature live music, interactive activities and workshops, games and a free raffle. In addition, families will have access to free school supplies, haircuts, food and lice treatment kits. 

"The goal of the Mental Health Fair is to bring resources directly into the community, make it easier for individuals and families to know where to turn when they need support, and continue reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and asking for help," SV CARES Director Paige Olsen said.  

She said events like this help people see that support is available and that they are not alone.

"We want community members to feel comfortable reaching out for help and to know there are resources here for them and their families," Olsen said.

To improve accessibility, Silver Valley CARES has partnered with Silver Valley Shuttle to provide free transportation. Shuttle service reservations are required by calling 208-660-8821.
