Since 2017, the Arizona Palooza has brought together agencies from across Tucson and Pima County to deliver information regarding mental health in a fun, informal setting. It combines the informational force of a resource fair, the festivities of a carnival (including games for the whole family) with live music and resource exhibitors. Each year the Palooza strives to entertain diverse participants while providing resources and reducing the stigma that is often associated with mental health. Our goal is to increase awareness and improve connections, visit our Facebook page for more details!
