It's Men's Wellbriety & Mental Health Month — Join Us All Weekend!

June is Men's Wellbriety & Mental Health Month, a time to recognize that taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health. Too often, men are taught to carry their struggles alone, but true strength comes from reaching out, supporting one another, and knowing it's okay to ask for help. By having conversations, sharing resources, and looking out for one another, we can help break the stigma surrounding mental health and continue building healthier families and a stronger Apsáalooke Nation.

Youth & Men's Divisions
Great prizes for both youth and adult participants!

🩺 Be sure to stop by the THIP booth!

The Crow Tribal Health Improvement Program (T-HIP) will be on-site throughout the weekend offering:

❤️ Free blood pressure checks and vital signs
📚 Preventive health education
💙 Men's mental health and wellbriety resources
🆘 FREE Narcan kits and overdose prevention education
🧪 FREE fentanyl test strips
🤝 Information about THIP services and community health programs.

Whether you're competing, supporting a loved one, or just stopping by, come visit us! We'd love to connect with you and share resources that can help you and your family live healthier lives.

📣 Vendors Welcome!
There is no vendor fee to set up this weekend. We especially encourage our youth entrepreneurs and youth who are fundraising for camps, sports tournaments, school trips, or other activities to come set up a booth. This is a great opportunity to support our young people while enjoying a weekend of community and culture.

P.S. We have Off, don't let the mosquitos ruin a good time… 😂 Come hang out with us!

Movement is Medicine. Healing Begins with Community. 💙
