The SAD to GLAD Campaign is a community-wide mental health awareness initiative designed to raise awareness of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), reduce stigma surrounding seasonal depression, and equip individuals with healthy, practical coping tools. Through a collaborative grant written in partnership with the local health department, funding was successfully secured to support three community events dedicated to mental wellness during the winter months.

Each event will foster open and honest conversations about seasonal depression, provide evidence-informed strategies to support mental well-being, and promote peer and community support. By normalizing conversations around seasonal mental health and offering accessible resources, the SAD to GLAD Campaign strengthens community resilience and encourages individuals to care for themselves—and one another—during challenging seasons.

Join us for Paint Away the BLUES, a relaxing paint night where we explore how art can help express emotions, reduce stress, and support mental well-being.
