make either the subtle or sig-
nificant changes,” said event
coordinator Linda Lydick.
“The information gained from
Friday’s exhibitors, Saturday’s
seminars and Sunday’s Kids’
Day activities could jump-start
people’s knowledge and com-
mitment to better health.”
The event will be held at the
Florence Events Center April
7-9.
Admission is free all three
days.
Each day at noon, the first
100 people will receive a free

That’s why we’ve invited one
of the best in Oregon to come
help,” explained Lydick.
“Those that complete all three
sessions will receive national-
ly-recognized certification in
mental health first-aid.”
