At Jackson Health Foundation we hosted our inaugural “Mind Your Health” event on World Mental Health Day, Sunday, October 10. The event, presented by Florida Power & Light, was attended by hundreds of people who gathered to raise awareness and funds to support mental health programs and initiatives at Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital. The family-friendly, day-long event took place at Margaret Pace Park in downtown Miami.

Thank you to everyone that joined us including our sponsors, speakers, and community partners who helped make this event a success!
