Madison City Schools hosts mental health fair to connect families with support

Madison City Schools is once again opening its doors to the community, this time to connect families with vital mental health and wellness resources.

The district will host its annual Mental Health Fair this Thursday, bringing together more than two dozen local organizations to provide information and support on topics ranging from mental health and trauma recovery to substance abuse services.

Stephanie Allen, the Madison City Schools’ Mental Health Services Coordinator, says the event was born out of a desire to strengthen the connection between schools, parents, and the broader community.

“It really started out of a desire to start conversation, increase connection between school, between community, and between our parents when it comes to mental health,” Allen said.
