Following this, attendees will be introduced to the night’s writing form, setting the stage for an engaging writing workshop from 7:00 PM to 7:40 PM. A brief refreshment break at 7:40 PM will provide an opportunity for attendees to connect with fellow artists and reflect on the evening’s creative energy. The event will resume with participant presentations and a share-out session from 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM, allowing individuals to showcase their work and inspire others. <\/span>The evening will conclude with closing remarks at 8:30 PM, leaving attendees with a sense of fulfillment and a renewed commitment to supporting youth mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n
