Event Details 2026 Mental Health Heroes

Each year during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Assemblymember Gail Pellerin brings together community members, service providers, health advocates, and local leaders for Care Fair, a resource fair dedicated to health, self-care, and local support dedicated to mental wellness, connection, healing, and support.

Care Fair is a space to learn about local health resources, connect with organizations serving our community, and recognize the district-nominated upstanders who make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Whether you are curious about what resources are available to our community, seeking support, or celebrating our Assembly District 28 Mental Health Heroes, Care Fair has something for everyone.
