IMALIVE Mental Health Fair Comes to Crafton Hills College
Publish Date: Sept. 11, 2025
On September 11, Crafton Hills College held the IMALIVE Mental Health Fair, a powerful event dedicated to mental health awareness and suicide prevention. The fair was hosted by Crafton’s Health and Wellness Center and Student Accessibility Center in collaboration with the IMALIVE suicide prevention network and “the world’s first virtual crisis center” (https://www.imalive.org/about). Attendees had the opportunity to engage in important conversations about mental health while learning about available resources.
Since 2010, IMALIVE has organized over 300 mental health events across North America aimed at engaging students in discussions about recognizing warning signs of mental problems and reducing stigma. The fair featured a wide variety of booths staffed by representatives from Crafton’s resource groups, local community organizations, and the IMALIVE team. Each booth offered information about available services, coping strategies, and ways to support peers who may be struggling.
At the heart of the event there was an interactive art display that invited attendees to write down a secret to add to the display. By contributing anonymously, attendees could express their struggles while realizing they were not alone in facing challenges.
Crafton Hills College places a high value on the health and well-being of its students. To learn more about Crafton’s available services visit:
