Holding It Together: Youth Mental Health & Family Resilience
Nov 8 - 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM EST
Get ready for an inspiring and unforgettable evening with REAL TALK, Real Support!
Holding It Together: Youth Mental Health & Family Resilience features best-selling author, internationally recognized speaker and viral sensation Kristina Kuzmič, bringing her powerful blend of honesty, humor and hope to the stage for an evening you won’t want to miss.
The evening also includes a powerful panel discussion and opportunities to connect with local organizations and resources supporting youth and families. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, first responder, youth-serving professional or simply someone who cares about the mental health of young people in our community, this night is for you.
Come as you are. Leave feeling encouraged, connected and reminded that none of us has to hold it all together alone.
This event, a partnership between REAL TALK and The Naz Church Grove City, is made possible through the generous support of organizations like the Buckeye Ranch and ADAMH Franklin County.
Stay tuned for more events in 2027
