The event is completely virtual and free. It includes a discussion around the mental health issues facing children and adolescents.
“Never before has the discussion about mental health been more important.
We have resources and support for people beginning from birth all the way through adulthood. It’s just as important to discuss mental health as it is to talk about your physical health.
We at DWIHN want to have these courageous conversations and continue making a difference in the lives of the 75,000 adults and children that serve in Detroit and Wayne County.”
DWIHN Interim President/CEO Eric Doeh
