A Path to Hope, an Exton-based nonprofit that empowers people to seek treatment for mental health, will host its Fourth Annual STEPS Mental Health Resource Fair on Saturday, March 19 from 12-3 PM at Lionville Middle School.

Take the first step, meet area providers, and learn about local resources. The event is free to attend.

After someone close to her was suffering alone through anxiety and depression, Holly O’Connell decided to make a change and started A Path to Hope in 2018.

“Every family has a story,” said O’Connell, who spent 24 years as a registered nurse. “We chose to share ours to help others learn from our experience.”

A Path to Hope offers aid and information about mental health resources. The organization aims to support those suffering from mental illness, and their loved ones, as they navigate the mental health system.

Each year, the STEPS (Services-Therapy-Education-Providers-Support) Resource Fair brings together community members and providers and offers resources and networking opportunities.

Among the vendors this year are A Haven, Locust Lane Riding Center, North Star Psychiatry, and Mirmont Treatment Centers.
