About Our Mental Health Stars Event
Why Mental Health Stars Was Created
Mental Health Stars of El Paso was launched as the signature fundraising event for Family Service of El Paso following the retirement of longtime Executive Director Richard Salcido. What began as a moment of transition has evolved into an annual tradition that celebrates impact, strengthens visibility, and raises critical support for our mission.
Each year, we honor individuals and community partners who have made a lasting difference in El Paso’s mental health landscape. It’s also a chance to spotlight the nearly 50 student interns who graduate from our training program each year—helping us shape the next generation of therapists while expanding access to care for our community.
This event serves as both a reflection of where we’ve been and a vision of where we’re going. In the years ahead, we hope to grow its reach while continuing to honor those who lead, serve, and heal through mental health.
