We Are Better Together: The Power of Community-Based Healing

What does it mean to be a part of a community? How can we better respond to unexpected events, together, to create a ripple effect of healing?

Just as a human body can experience injury, disease, and trauma, a community can also experience wounds and scars left by traumatic events. Even when the harmful event isn’t happening directly to us, when it happens within our community the wounds are still felt and the impact on our mental health can be detrimental. Experiencing trauma can leave us feeling powerless, exhausted, and paralyzed. It can also give a community the opportunity to come together to heal and find ways to move forward and thrive.

Join us on June 23rd at noon for a virtual discussion on the power of Community-Based Healing, with MHC’s Chief Experience Officer Remi Kyek and special guest Kenny Mercer, creator of the Tour for Life music fest, musician, and champion for mental health awareness. (This webinar will be closed captioned.)
