The 4th Annual Napa Valley Wellness Conference will bring together educators, administrators, practitioners, and student leaders for a comprehensive two-day Wellness Conference to elevate school-based mental health programs and showcase youth voice. Napa County is known for exceptional youth-driven wellness centers, universal mental health screenings, school-based community provider services, and youth leadership around mental health stigma. The event will feature a screening of the documentary, RACE To Be Human, and a youth panel discussion about the intersection of racism and mental health.

Directed by Scilla Andreen, RACE to Be Human addresses the apprehension and confusion so many of us feel when it comes to talking about race and racism. The film program examines micro-aggressions, allyship, the role of social media, and more. It also shares how we can promote curiosity, self-reflection, and empathy through conversations at home, school and work.
