Description
Are you interested in learning more about the current landscape of mental health in the Black community? This speaker series aims to foster a safe, inclusive environment whereby the Black community and its allies can collectively break the stigma and increase awareness on mental health. Experts in the field will be sharing their experience as well as research pertaining to this topic, which will be followed by a Q & A panel period with the audience. The evening will conclude with a period of time devoted to informal networking.
We are pleased to be featuring Dr. Fatimah Jackson-Best and Kimberley Moore as our speakers for our first session.
