As we look back on Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re grateful for the partners, neighbors, and community members who helped create space for education, connection, and support across the St. Louis region.

In May, our team participated in NAMIWalks STL with NAMI St. Louis and welcomed Victoria Anwuri, Health Commissioner for the City of St. Louis Department of Health, to our Soulard Campus for an important conversation about mental health and community well-being.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, walked alongside us, and helped keep mental health part of the conversation.
