Soulshine at FloydFest 2022

  • Our information station is located on Healing Way between the Food Court & Children’s Universe

    We will be open 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday - Sunday of the event to talk about consent, share mental health resources and talk about mental health treatment options available in the community.

    Our crisis intervention team is available 24/7 during the event via radio on the Medical Channel. If you experience a consent violation, assault or mental health emergency ANY staff member with a radio can call us to request support. We can also be contacted via the Cool-Down-Zone next to the Medical tent.

    Seeking aid from Staff or Medical is the fastest way to get help of any kind onsite.
