If you’re affected by any of the subjects touched upon in this story, we’d encourage you to make use of some of the resources provided by the mental health charity Mind.
The event celebrated the power of shows like Stargate SG-1 to offer inspiration, comfort, and even guidance and explored the ways in which the fandom has supported its own through tough times. Ticket sales went towards Tapping’s choice of mental health charities, and if you missed out – you’re invited to donate to NAMI in the US, Kids Help Phone in Canada, or Mind in the UK.
