Washington DC based Behavioral Health Organization, is celebrating 208 years of service through a series of awareness events. More Go-Go Less Violence is our first effort in the series. This kick-off event hosted by the Hillcrest Board of Directors seeks to set the tone for our series on complimentary therapies and how music plays a pivotal role in emotional well-being. This live event will connect our City back to the feel good vibes of its homegrown art form - Go Go Music. We hope attendees feel a sense of local pride as we take a trip down go-go’s memory lane and raise awareness of a growing concern of violence in our community and its mental health impact. Come Out and Party with a Purpose!!!
About the Fundraising Series
Hillcrest aims to be the catalyst for change in our underserved community. With the uptick in crime, we desire to be the leading agency on the frontline helping those who deal with mental health and substance abuse issues as a result of exposure to crimes in their community. We also wish to advocate for victims of violent crime as they are more likely to suffer from mental health issues. Finally, we desire to help those who commit crimes as these individuals are often a result of trauma and unreliable support systems.
We are advocates for our therapeutic treatment programs like individual, family and group therapy, we also advocate for complimentary therapies to help guide us to wellness. This series will arm our community with therapies like, yoga/meditation, sound healing, journaling, exercise, nutrition and more with the hopes that when times are most difficult, our underserved community has a mental health toolkit readily available.
