AMCS PRIDE FEST 2024

Airport Marina Counseling Service (AMCS) will again host its annual Pride Fest during the month of June, which is LGBT Pride Month. Pride Fest came out of the AMCS LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy Center and aims to provide an educational and affirming community event focused on health and wellness for our LGBTQ+ clients, community, and allies and to reduce stigma around mental health and raise awareness of low-cost or free mental health services in Los Angeles.

The FREE family-friendly outdoor event will feature multiple “Pride stations” with fun and educational activities and games facilitated by therapists from AMCS’s LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy Center, plus guest speakers, music, food, and more. Dr. Mimi Hoang, psychologist, longtime LGBTQ advocate, and Program Coordinator of AMCS’s LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy Center, will be the host and MC of Pride Fest.

“We’re thrilled to host this annual event in celebration of LGBT Pride Month and to raise awareness of the importance of mental health services in the LGBTQ community, which is at higher risk of mental health concerns due to minority stress,” said Dr. Hoang. “We hope that Pride Fest will help reduce the stigma around mental health services and encourage more people to seek the help they need.”
