PeerFest is an educational and celebratory event for Texans who have faced mental health challenges and are on a journey to wellness.
Modeled, in part, after the National Alternatives Conference, PeerFest was created in 2015 with the vision of a place in Texas where people facing mental health challenges are supported to live their best lives.
