Please join us for Menlo Park’s 7th Annual Mental Health Open Mic Night. Musician and mental health advocate Frances Ancheta Becker will be our emcee for a special event celebrating Mental Health Month. The evening includes professional musicians, San Mateo County Poets Laureate Emerita Aileen Cassinetto and Lisa Rosenberg, and mental health advocates and supportive members of the community.

The 2025 theme for Mental Health month is "Mental Health as a Continuum." This theme challenges the binary idea of “healthy” versus “unhealthy” mental health, normalizing the wide range of mental health experiences and encouraging individuals to embrace and accept the full spectrum of their well-being.

Whether in sharing experience, music, storytelling, readings, or poetry, join us in a safe space where you can share your own words, or listen to those of others.
