Did you know that suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in youth ages 10-24? Please join us Saturday, April 28th at Martin Luther King Jr. Park near Five Points for our first annual Columbia Wave Fest from 10:00 am-2:00 pm and help us create awareness around the importance of prevention, early intervention, and treatment of children’s mental health conditions.
75% of mental health disorders begin by age 24. The Columbia Wave Fest is an opportunity to educate the community on the resources available for children, youth and families impacted by emotional and behavioral health challenges while enjoying family fun. Led by the Federation of Families of SC, this celebratory event is in recognition of national Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week (CMHAW) and the impact of mental health and substance use recovery. We serve as Messengers of Hope by letting everyone know that recovery is possible. We believe that every individual’s emotional wellness is vital to overall health and success, regardless of age.
The Columbia Wave Fest is a one-day event modeled after the 8 Dimensions of Wellness (Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Occupational Physical, Social and Spiritual). Vendors will be offering on-site services for participants to include financial advice, haircuts, a gym holding exercise classes or instruction, and health screenings. There will also be live music, entertainment, food and bouncy houses!
