SUMMARY:Lubeznik Center for the Arts’ Free First Friday in September FEATURING Joe Rauen

Rauen began experimenting with making playable musical instruments from everyday items. His “unlikely musical objects” include instruments made from shovels\, suitcases\, plumbing\, sports equipment\, old toys\, and various items from the hardware store. Rauen’s eclectic performances earned him a year-long residency at the Ace Hotel Chicago. His music has been featured on the WGN Morning News\, covered in the Chicago Tribune\, and heard on NPR.

He currently studies South Indian classical music with Saraswathi Ranganathan and performs around the Midwest.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy light hors d’oeuvres\, a cash bar and a unique musical performance – admission is always free!

SUMMARY:Community Mental Health Resource Fair: A Place to Start-Coming THIS WEEKEND September 20
DESCRIPTION:La Porte County\, Indiana — Mental health support doesn’t always begin with knowing exactly what you need. Sometimes\, it begins with finding a place to start.\n\n\n \n\n\nOn September 20\, First Presbyterian Church in Michigan City\, will host a Community Mental Health Resource Fair: A Place to Start\, bringing together local organizations and professionals to help individuals and families learn about mental health\, discover available resources\, and connect with support in the community.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe event is rooted in two simple beliefs: people should not have to navigate mental health challenges alone\, and asking for help should never be a source of shame.\n\n\n \n\n\nAs a pastor and longtime community leader\, Rev. Dr. Ericka Kilbourne has seen the effects of mental health challenges both personally and through her work with individuals and families. She has a deep understanding of the challenges communities and families face when trying to find appropriate care and support.\n\n\n \n\n\nShe and congregational leaders decided to host this event because they had witnessed the stigma that can surround mental health\, including the difficulty people sometimes experience when trying to reconcile mental health challenges with their personal beliefs\, families and communities.\n\n\n \n\n\n“We’ve seen how difficult it can be for people to say\, ‘I need help\,'” said Susan Ransom\, church member and committee chair. “Sometimes we need a person to listen\, sometimes we need community\, sometimes we need professional care\, and often we need several kinds of support. The important thing is knowing that there is somewhere to start.”\n\n\n \n\n\nThe resource fair\, made possible through a grant from the Health Foundation of LaPorte\, will provide an opportunity for community members to meet representatives from mental health and behavioral health organizations\, school counseling programs\, crisis services\, recovery organizations\, social service agencies\, and other community resources—all in one place.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe event is designed for anyone who may be looking for support for themselves or someone they care about\, including parents\, caregivers\, students\, educators\, families\, faith and community leaders\, and residents who simply want to better understand mental health.\n\n\n \n\n\nAttendees will have opportunities to learn more about topics such as anxiety\, depression\, grief\, caregiving\, trauma\, and other mental health concerns. Information about new community support groups\, including caregiver\, grief\, and teen anxiety/depression support\, will also be available.
