OUR UPCOMING Events
PRESS COFFEE is sponsoring a ROCK PAINTING event for our project! Come and join us in painting inspirational art on rocks and meet some amazing people! It's time to bust out your paintbrushes and get your creative juices flowing for another rock painting session! From 5-8PM on Thursday, January 26th, we will have rocks and all the supplies set up for use. Stop by to warm up with a yummy latte or soothing tea and get painting! This month we will be joined by the #I'mGladYouStayedProject to not only provide content and ideas for your rocks, but to raise awareness for their mission. The I'm Glad You Stayed Project strives to educate the public, especially teenagers, on real-time suicide prevention actions and resources to save the lives of those struggling with mental health and suicidal ideation. Drop by anytime, but be there at 6PM to hear the story behind the non-profit. Here is a list of supplies that we try to provide.

This event is geared towards breaking down barriers that many rural community members feel they have just by being rural. Our goal is to bring as many resources together both in the community and surrounding areas to provide education and access to services that community members may not have known were available. This can be education for kids, parents, grandparents, etc. It can range from personal care, to camps, to local recreation, to farm safety, to mental health awareness, etc.
Come alone or bring a buddy on this community walk to talk about mental health! Join us anytime between 9am and 11am. The I’m Glad You Stayed Project will be there handing out resources, including pamphlets and Just Keep Swimming bracelets, as well as other mental health awareness pieces. Help us to break the stigma of mental health!
