Each year MASFAP selects a non-profit organization to support through various fundraisers. In honor of the conference's focus on mental health, MASFAP is proud to partner with the Burrell Foundation, a charitable arm of Burrell Behavioral Health.
Why It MattersMental health is a growing concern across all age groups. Traumatic events, isolation, increasing pressure at school or work, or questions about identity can be factors in someone's mental health. Nobody is exempt from a crisis, and many people have concerns that they are unsure what to do about. But there is help. At the same time, colleges are stretched to their thinnest and may lack resources to be proactive in student care, despite their best intentions. The Burrell Foundation seeks ways to be proactive and bring care to where it is needed next. Get InvolvedYou can choose your involvement level at the conference based on your comfort level! Wellness wall Attendees will be placed into 4 groups, each with a different color. Throughout the conference individuals can write notes and place them on a wall. Notes can be anonymous - or not - and can be anything. Want to compliment someone on their hair? Note. Something on your mind? Note. Note cards can be purchased for $1 each. The team who raises the most money wins! Silent Auction Swag The Art of Being ME Where the Money GoesAll money raised during the conference will be funneled toward mental wellness initiatives on college campuses.
