In honor of National Minority Mental Health Month, BRAVE Communities invites you to a powerful happy hour of conversation, connection, and community care.

BRAVE Communities Connection is holding space where young people, families, and community members come together for informal conversations and listening circles, we’ll explore ways to support mental wellness, break stigma, and uplift one another—especially in light of recent Central Texas flooding and the broader challenges facing our communities. This special gathering will feature:

✨ Listening circles on:

• Navigating mental health as teens, adults, and community members

• Breaking the silence around emotional well-being

• Strategies for resilience and self-care

📚 Mental health resource tables with local practitioners, counselors, and community organizations

🌏 Cross-cultural connections with young people from across the Asia Pacific visiting Austin through the U.S. Department of State's TechGirls exchange program

Let’s #MakeATXBRAVE where vulnerability is strength, and every story matters.

Free with RSVP. Please share and invite your family, friends, and neighbors. Children's corner available with arts and crafts. Light refreshments provided for those that pre-register before July 26th.
