 2010 "Opening Minds" Art Show
The 2010 “Opening Minds” Art Show has been expanded to include everyone involved in the mental health community: those in recovery, their family and friends, service providers and more. The goal remains the same today: to help our community see that people should not be defined in terms of their illness but by their strengths, gifts and by the contributions they make to society. Featured Piece Deadline: Tuesday, March 23, 2010, Noon. All Art Entry Deadline: Monday, April 19, 2010, 4 p.m. Click here for an entry form.
 Join us February 26th for "Journey of Hope"
"Journey of Hope" is an inspiring and educational mental wellness forum to be held Friday, February 26, at the chambers of the SLO County Board of Supervisors. We will screen "The Shaken Tree: Families Living with Mental Illness," an award-winning documentary featuring stories from local families about life with someone who has a mental illness. The forum's keynote speaker, Kevin Hines, is an internationally-recognized presenter who has spoken to over a quarter of a million people about his first-hand experience with suicidal thoughts and his eventual attempt to end his life by jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge. One of only 29 Golden Gate Bridge survivors, Kevin is now actively spreading the message of suicide prevention and living mentally well. To learn more about Kevin, go to www.kevinhinesstory.com.

 An Evening of Fast-paced Fun and Community Support
This year, TMHA teamed up with the Kiwanis Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa for their annual fall auction. It was a fun evening of live and silent auctions, great food and plenty of merriment. Proceeds will benefit TMHA and kids in San Luis Obispo County. Thank you, Kiwanis!
