From all of us at PMHCA, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made Wellness Days 25 unforgettable! Whether you were an attendee, a sponsor, a volunteer, a speaker, or a supporter — your presence and participation helped us shatter the stigma surrounding mental health in powerful ways.

This year’s theme, “Shattering the Stigma,” was more than just a message — it was a movement. Together, we created a safe, empowering space where voices were heard, stories were shared, and hope was ignited.

💥 Thank you for standing with us.
💬 Thank you for speaking out.
🤝 Thank you for helping break down the barriers.

We are so proud of what we accomplished together — and we can’t wait to keep building a future where mental wellness is prioritized, supported, and understood.
