Life is a lot right now!
School. Work. Family. Stress. Pressure. Expectations....
The G.O.A.T. Youth Mental Health Expo is a day to slow down, show up, and connect with people and resources that actually get it.
On Saturday, May 2, 2026, we’re taking over the MLK Center at Bowie State University and turning it into a space built for youth and families — with real conversations, real support, and real opportunities.
Not lectures. Not PowerPoint Presentations.
EXPERIENCES.
✔ Workshops you can use.
✔ People you can talk to.
✔ Live performances.
✔ Creative spaces.
✔ Community resources.
✔ Moments that remind you you’re not in this alone.
Whether you’re looking for support, information, inspiration, or just good energy — you belong here.
Parents and caregivers are welcome.
Providers, presenters, and partners are invited to get involved.
Free to attend. Open to the community. Built for you.
This is where our community shows up for each other. View past expos.
