Kids and Family Expo

We are excited to announce that the Mental Health Foundation will be promoting the Kids and Family Expo again this year!
To give you some background, the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan bought the Expo from Kohler Expos, who previously hosted the event for ten years. As a nonprofit focused on mental health and wellness, we hope to put on a great event with some positive enhancements and a focus on overall family wellness. If you are familiar with the Expo, it will look very similar and continue to include everything from having fun experiences together as a family to learning about resources available in our communities.

The Expo will take place on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids. You can find more information by following the links below.

Hop on the Frog Hopper sponsored by Foster Kent Kids! Our goal is to assist in recruitment and retention of foster parents throughout the Kent County / Grand Rapids area. We need caring homes for all children who have been removed from their families due to abuse or neglect. Foster parents are crucial supports to children who are in crisis, and they can instill hope and a sense of belonging. Our greatest need is foster parents who will care for teenagers, sibling groups, and medically fragile youth. Talk to them this Saturday at the Kids & Family Expo on Jan. 28 at the DeVos Place!
