CAHM's event objective: If you or someone you care about is grappling with issues related to mental illness, this special Forum offers an opportunity to gain new insights and information from experts and community leaders in the field. The day’s events include a keynote addresses by news anchor Carol LeBeau and Dr. Nick Yphantides, plus breakout sessions, panel discussions, and opportunities to have your concerns addressed and your questions answered. As an added bonus, the day will also feature live music, drama, and an art exhibit and sale.

CAHM's mission: to engage the community in raising awareness of support for mental illness issues and suicide prevention, particularly among youth and young adults, through venues of music, art, and education. The work of CAHM began after Rex & Connie Kennemer lost their son Todd to mental illness in 2005. They honor his life and struggle by reaching out to others needing hope for their journey.
