This month, we are focusing on navigating the complexities of mental health in these challenging times. Gain insights from:
James Coomes, a seasoned clinical social worker with over 20 years of crisis intervention experience, spearheads initiatives at the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. He is a member of the Department’s Anti-Racism, Diversity and Inclusion Staff Advisory Council.
Dr. Joni Johnson, a pediatrician, health coach, and author of "My Blue Eyes: Viewing the World Through an Atypical Lens," focuses on neurodiversity and brings over 15 years of expertise in supporting individuals with ADHD, autism, and other learning challenges by helping them develop executive function skills to overcome obstacles to success.
Reverend Albert Starr has passionately advocated for racial justice and inclusion throughout his distinguished career in ministry and community leadership. As a pastor/teacher he delights in helping to lift up & engage the gifts and talents of people, celebrating their capacity to build a better world.
This workshop promises to equip you with practical advice and expand your understanding of available mental health services and support systems. Whether in person or online, don’t miss the opportunity to engage in this vital conversation and connect with our community.
