Hey there.

The Mental Health Party (MHP) uses social-science principles to host events at fun, accessible venues across the city — bars, film studios, restaurants and more — that build community and spark connections around mental-health positivity.

Our events include music, comedy, art, health and fitness tips, mindful food and drink experiences, and expert panels on trending topics. Past conversations included how to find a therapist, how to navigate climate anxiety, how fashion facilitates self-expression, how to choose mindful foods and more.

At the MHP, we believe that mental health does not have to be this big, dark and isolating topic, but instead should be exactly what really is — something that intersects with almost every aspect of our lives. Our events are designed to help build community and explore cathartic connection to our mental health, to our shared humanity and to the world around us.

Community

Expanding yourself and social circles is challenging! We take on some of the legwork for you in facilitating connection. 

Content & Resources

The Mental Health Party is committed to spreading resources and artistic content to shine light in a space that can feel like a black box. Our curated content helps our community to break stigma, to fight loneliness, to find fulfillment and to get or give the help that is so needed.
