GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — January can be rough for your mental health—the rush and glamor of the holidays are over and we’re surrounded by dreary weather for days on end.
So get out and do something active for your mental health — Head to the Kid & Family Expo!
Saturday, January 27, DeVos Place will be filled with all the fun from 10-5 p.m.

It’s one of the ways be nice. promotes mental health and the benefits of being active with your family through the dog days of winter.
