Connecticut State Community College Housatonic hosted a wellness festival to promote and raise awareness for student mental health Wednesday.
Organizers say the school's festival promotes all forms of wellness from physical, mental, to emotional.
The event offered dancing, yoga and a number of community partner run activities as well as "gong vibrational therapy."
The festival aimed to educate and reduce the stigmas associated with mental health issues.
Normalizing conversations about mental health, self-care, and emotional well-being were also held at the festival.
School officials stated that the wellness festival is about promoting the message across its campus that "Everyone Matters and Mental Health Is Everyone's Responsibility."
