Hi Fellow Democrats!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Spring Valley Lemon Grove Democratic Club has an amazing meeting lined up with excellent speakers for our panel on mental health.
Mental health is interconnected with even the most far reaching facets of our society. It affects all ages, abilities, races, and genders without discrimination, yet we treat it as a secondary and a reactionary medicine. Poor mental health can lead to dysfunctional relationships, problems with addiction, trouble holding a job, and even lead to homelessness. Mental healthcare should be treated as a preventative medicine and we are making progress on that front as a society, but we can’t fully embrace mental healthcare until we defeat the stigma that surrounds it.
Join us this Wednesday, May 10th at The Hamlett in Lemon Grove for a panel discussion on mental health, with speakers Kenya Taylor and Lisa Garcia. |
