From M.E. to You: A Mental Health Concert

Bringing Hope, Healing, and Empowerment through Music

 

Columbia, MD, April 20, 2024 - We are thrilled to announce the upcoming event "From M.E. to You: A Mental Health Concert," a one-of-a-kind musical experience dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues and fostering a sense of community and support. The concert, featuring inspirational-soul artist, Maya Elizabeth, will take place on April 20 at Busboys & Poets in Columbia, MD.

Organized by Maya Elizabeth and Dr. Kimberly Mayes, LCSW, founder of Essence Therapy & Wellness Center, "From M.E. to You" aims to break the stigma surrounding mental health and promote open conversations that encourage understanding, compassion, and healing. By leveraging the universal language of music, the concert intends to create a safe space for individuals to be entertained, informed and empowered through a night of uplifting melodies and powerful lyrics--music that soothes, inspires and refreshes.

​

The event will also feature professional insights from Dr. Kim's mental health expertise. She'll have engaging activities for attendees to learn practical ways to improve their mental health.
