PITTSBURGH, PA, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- New Directions Mental Health (NDMH) is pleased to announce a series of five free, family-friendly Trunk-or-Treat events throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania this October. These events underscore NDMH’s deep commitment to serving and strengthening local communities while promoting mental health awareness in an accessible and engaging way.

“We look forward to creating a welcoming community space where families can come together for some fun, enjoy treats, and have open conversations about mental health,” said Brittany Remington, Interventional Psychiatry Resource Manager at NDMH. “We know that talking about mental health can be challenging for people of all ages, and our goal is to help make those conversations a little bit easier and a lot less scary.”

Celebrating the theme of "mental health doesn’t have to be scary", NDMH invites community members to join their team for free festive evenings of fun, costumes, and candy. The events are designed to create a welcoming and educational environment where families of all ages can gather and learn more about mental wellness, breaking down barriers and reducing the stigma often associated with mental health care.
