Why: The purpose of In Concert with Caminar is to increase awareness of behavioral health issues while raising funds to strengthen services for vulnerable members of the community. This year’s event benefits Caminar's Behavioral Health Equity Fund, which was created to continue our response to the urgent behavioral health needs of the Bay Area’s underserved populations. COVID has had a profound effect on the behavioral health of BIPOC communities, essential workers, adolescents and people who are insecurely housed. Event proceeds will allow Caminar to provide behavioral health – mental health and substance use – services for thousands of our low and very low-income neighbors.
