‌
Last Saturday's 2nd Annual Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.) Youth Mental Health Expo was nothing short of AMAZING! Our goal was to bring the community together to provide greater access to care, resources and support our youth need to overcome mental health and substance use challenges – and we did just that! We welcomed over 400 guests, including 50 exhibitors, and 22 speakers and performers.

We can’t thank the community enough for showing up, connecting with our exhibitors, learning new coping and intervention strategies, and helping to break the stigma around mental health by participating in our interactive session. We want to especially thank our expo co-hosts, the Prince George's County Health Department and the Bowie State University Graduate Student Association, for partnering again this year with Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas. We also have to give a huge shout out to our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, performers and volunteers. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
