Join us for World Mental Health Day in October 2022
Howard Center will be connecting to the global world mental health movement and hosting its third annual community-wide recognition and celebration of World Mental Health Day (WMHD) throughout the month of October 2022. WMHD is on October 10 and is an opportunity for community education and engagement to reduce stigma, raise awareness, and to connect to the global movement to ensure our communities have access to mental health supports when they are needed.
Howard Center wants to ensure that our community has access to the support they need. Mental health support and access for all, everyone, everywhere. Join us for our weekly speaker series at howardcenter.org.
