Free screenings, real conversations about mental health, and no appointment needed. That is the entire pitch behind Lourdes Behavioral Health’s Community Wellness Event, landing in Richland this September as a walk-in morning built around access rather than ceremony.
Lourdes Behavioral Health is opening its doors to connect the Tri-Cities community with mental health support, education and resources, and the morning covers more ground than a typical healthy lifestyle fair usually attempts.

What’s Include in This Offer
The morning is built around genuine access to services people usually have to book weeks ahead for.
Screenings and checks. Anxiety and depression screenings, and blood pressure checks, available without an appointment.
Education. Sessions on how sleep affects mental health, stress management tools, and suicide warning sign education, aimed at giving families and neighbours the language to notice when someone is struggling.
Hands-on and community. Art therapy activities, giveaways, and the chance to meet Lourdes Behavioral Health providers and staff face to face, outside a clinical setting.
Why It’s Free and Open to Everyone
The event reflects Lourdes Behavioral Health’s ongoing commitment to mental health awareness, reducing stigma and strengthening access to care across the Tri-Cities region. Removing the registration step and the cost is not incidental to that mission, it is the mission, since the biggest barrier to mental health support is rarely willingness. It is usually the extra ten steps standing between someone and the door.
Plan Everone Visit
Nothing to book, nothing to bring. Just arrive between 9 and noon on the 12th, and stay for as much or as little of the morning as suits you, a five-minute blood pressure check or the full three hours across every table.For anyone travelling in from further out or coordinating around Pacific time, the window is a straightforward 9 a.m. to noon, no time zone maths required once you’re in Richland.
