Here Tomorrow, Greater Jacksonville’s go-to suicide prevention resource, will host its inaugural ECHO Fair from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at Jarboe Park, 510 Florida Blvd., Neptune Beach. ECHO stands for Expression, Connection & Healing Opportunity.
The ECHO Fair is free to the public and will connect attendees with Here Tomorrow, located across the street from Jarboe Park, as well as more than 40 other local resources. Among the participating organizations are treatment centers, clinical providers and nonprofits supporting teenagers, military, first responders, the LGBTQ+ community and individuals experiencing homelessness.
The fair also features engaging speakers, delicious food trucks and fun activities such as wellness toolboxes, playground scavenger hunts, community art pieces and teen social media challenges.
“It truly takes a village to provide the care and support everyone deserves on their mental health journey,” said event organizer Maia Savage. “We hope the ECHO Fair shows our community members that they are not alone. There are so many people who are here for them!”
The Here Tomorrow ECHO Fair is sponsored by Sophros Recovery, Sulzbacher, Wekiva Springs Center, Winings Wellness, The Blessing Girl, Tony’s European Auto Service, Design Recovery, Vijapura Psychiatry, Jacksonville-Oceanside Rotary and Healing Hobbies.
