From the Facebook event page:
Looking to relax on a day to game during sweater weather? Join us to spend a day to hangout and game with friends. Throughout our event we'll have mental health professionals hold open discussions about the safety and benefits of the medium, artist vendors, food vendors and more.
In collaboration with the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI), EB Indie and NextGen Acting would like to break the stigma and offer a welcoming space to discuss the video game medium and how it can benefit people's mental health.
CASH ONLY: a minimum of $5 donation to enter (all proceeds will go towards NAMI, the National Alliance of Mental Illness of Middlesex County). RSVP is NOT required.
Please contact EB Indie Film Festival at ebifilmfestival@gmail.com for any questions!
