Community Cookout Recap!

Thank you to all, who attended The Network Community Cookout on Sunday, June 25th, at Eris Brewery and Cider House.

This marks the fourth onsite event in our programming partnership with Eris Brewery and Cider House.


This was our fifth overall experience built with the support and the Eris team.


Michelle Foik, owner of Eris, which is Chicago's first female-owned taproom. Has facilitated The Network as a programming partner driven by her passion and understanding of mental health care within our communities!


Another highlight of the event included a powerful speech by event Michelle Thompkins of The Cornerstore. Our co-benefactor of ticket sales.

We created this event as part of our core mission to build an actual NETWORK of allies in mental health and suicide prevention.


And it was our honor to help support the essential and powerful grassroots community-focused work of The Cornerstore


We had a beautiful afternoon filled with great conversation, delicious food & drinks, and music from our talented performers.

Thank You! To our incredible musicians: Alex Subak, Jackson Jay Kidder, & Mike Vinopal


And as always we need to recognize our events sponsor Nature's Grace and Wellness for continually supporting us and collaborating with us to empower the conversation surrounding mental health.


Thank you to everyone who came out!


The Community cookout is another example of Eris's standing up to normalize mental health within our communities.
