AMCS PRIDE FEST 2024

Airport Marina Counseling Service (AMCS) will celebrate diversity and inclusion at its annual LGBTQ Pride Fest – a free community event aimed at reducing stigma around mental health and raising awareness of low-cost or free mental health services in Los Angeles. Pride Fest will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 15 in the AMCS parking lot at 7891 La Tijera Boulevard in Westchester.

The family-friendly outdoor event will feature fun and educational “wellness stations” facilitated by therapists from AMCS’s LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy Center, a notable guest speaker, music, and more. Dr. Mimi Hoang, psychologist, longtime LGBTQ advocate, and Program Coordinator of AMCS’s LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy Center, will be the host of the annual Pride Fest event.

“We’re thrilled to host this 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.”
