World Mental Health Day is October 10, 2021
Howard Center will be connecting to the global world mental health movement and hosting its first annual community-wide recognition and celebration of World Mental Health Day (WMHD) throughout the month of October 2021. This year 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.
In the coming months, we anticipate the pandemic will exacerbate mental health and substance use in our community, and 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.
Please take a look at our one-page columns and resources that address areas of concern for most individuals and families: Mental Health & Youth Ι Anxiety Ι Depression Ι Social Connection
