May is Mental Health Awareness month and we're so excited to partner with Cozie Café to promote mental wellness in our community!
Last year, the Fair Lawn Arts Council and Cozie Café partnered on a beautiful mental health awareness event - Cozie & Safe Mental Health Open Mic. The purpose of the event was to raise awareness, reduce stigma and promote the therapeutic benefits of art and self expression. It was an amazing success with many members of the community coming out to learn, support and share.
We're happy to announce that we're doing it all again on Fri May 19, 2023 from 6-9pm! Please come out to share or support our community for the mental health open mic. Share your music, poetry, spoken word, or personal story. Self expression can be an incredibly healing experience for the person vocalizing their truth and can also send a healing ripple outward into the community! If you're a local mental health professional or holistic healing practitioner, please do share with us on your offerings and support available. We'll also be showcasing mental health themed art from local artists (which will be hanging in the cafe throughout the month of May).
