Surviving Through Mental Health: Family Matters - Part 2
Thursday, July 9, 2026
Norfolk Community Services Board is partnering with Project ORF to bring the community together for an evening of connection, healing and support in honor of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month with the 3rd Annual Surviving Through Mental Health on July 9, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Attucks Theatre.
This year’s theme, Family Matters: Part 2, explores how mental health stressors can impact individuals and families across generations and how communities can work together to build resilience, understanding, and collective care.
The program features dynamic panel discussions with mental health experts, activists, and survivors, along with a fireside chat with state leaders including State Senator Angelia Williams Graves and Marvin B. Figueroa, Secretary of Health and Human Resources for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
WAVY TV’s Aesia Toliver leads the evening as host and moderator.
Dozens of community mental health and wellness partners will be onsite offering outreach, resources and information. Attendees can also enjoy prizes, raffles, music, food and refreshments (first-come, first served), giveaways and much more!
Individuals, families and friends of all ages are welcome to attend and participate, especially teens and young adults. Surviving Through Mental Health is a free event and registration is preferred but not required.

Camp Art Stars is an extraordinary camp for extraordinary young artists! Each camp session, led by a professional art educator, is bustling with hands-on artmaking, experimentation with novel art materials, workshops with diverse professional artists, and fun collaborative learning experiences at the world renown Chrysler Museum of Art. At Camp Art Stars, process is valued over product and creative problem-solving is not only encouraged but also celebrated.
Marvel at the Chrysler Museum’s amazing works of art during this weeklong camp for young artists! Fabricate furry friends, mix modeling magic, paint proportional portraits, and create colorful collages while making new artsy buddies. Young artists will discover works of art in the galleries and find inspiration from the neighborhood nature. Camp Art Stars artists will show off their talents during the celebratory Art Show Friday.
Art Stars are asked to bring lunch and snacks. All art supplies are included, along with either a Chrysler Museum T-shirt or apron. We kindly ask Art Stars to wear their T-shirt or aprons daily to help support camp camaraderie and the security of all campers. Each day will feature artmaking, gallery visits, and outdoor playtime (weather permitting). Art Stars will check out the Perry Glass Studio noon demo to learn more about the exciting material.
