Demystifying the Mental Myth: A Community Conversation
Posted June 13, 2018
We are in a political moment that is often driven by fear, but we know that the only way our communities can heal and build power, is by creating a vision of what is possible. This event will be led by women of color health practitioners sharing their experiences around mental health, and particularly on the disparity of treatment for people of color. The second half of the event will include small breakout sessions to practice our value of healing together in public. We will also include mental health resources in our closing.
