Post by Saint Louis Zoo

This is where nature, mental health and conservation meet! The Zoo celebrated #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth in May at the Nature and Nurture Festival.   Children and families from throughout St. Louis joined us for hands-on crafts and nature-based activities that support children’s mental and physical well-being — plus a special appearance from our resident prehensile-tailed porcupine Piper! Thank you to all the community partners who helped make this event possible. #MentalHealthMonth #MAHM
