As we reflect on our 12th Annual Coastal Georgia Mental Health Symposium held on May 14, we are still inspired by the energy, passion, and collaboration that filled the room.
Community members, professionals, advocates, educators, leaders, and partners came together with one shared purpose: strengthening connection to community and care. From powerful conversations and meaningful breakout sessions to moments of laughter, networking, and reflection, the day served as a reminder that mental health truly matters to us all.
Mental health impacts every family, every workplace, every school, and every community. The symposium highlighted the importance of coming together, reducing stigma, building partnerships, and creating pathways to hope and healing across Coastal Georgia.
A heartfelt thank you to our speakers, presenters, sponsors, planning committee, volunteers, and every attendee who helped make this event such a success. Special appreciation to Johnson for delivering a powerful keynote centered on mentorship, mental health, connection, and community impact.
We are proud of the continued work happening across our region and grateful to stand alongside so many people committed to making a difference every single day.
Here’s a look back at some amazing moments from this year’s symposium.
