“Texas has a vibrant community of people who are using their personal recovery journeys to advocate for broader change in mental health. PeerFest is a not-to-missed chance for people to tap into this community, to be challenged and inspired, and to infuse that energy into their lives going forward. The Hogg Foundation is proud to be associated with this one-of-a-kind event," said Ike Evans, communications manager for the Hogg Foundation which is the principal funder of Peerfest.
Peerfest was created in 2015 with the vision of a place in Texas where people facing mental health challenges are supported to live their best lives.
