Californians are welcome to join this free webinar and learn about what steps are available to expand mental health resources near them. The webinar titled, “Let’s Talk Mental Health” will take place on Thursday, May 30, 2024 at 4:30 pm.
“None of us go untouched by mental health problems impacting our community,” said Assemblymember Holden. “Whether it is a loved one, a neighbor, or a coworker, most people in 2024 can visibly witness the impact of mental and emotional distress in their community.”
Last year, Assemblymember Holden’s bill, AB 289, was signed into law. The new law includes youth or youth mental health organizations on the list of stakeholders that counties must confer with when developing their three-year expenditure plans under the Mental Health Services Act. Holden has made it a point to advocate for all Californians to have access to mental health resources despite gender, race, socio-economic status, or sexual orientation.
“This month, I want to help provide awareness and increase access to the vital resources that not only set people on the road to recovery, but often saves lives,” said Holden.
The webinar is expected to host panelists from LA County Mental Health Department, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Greater Los Angeles Area, and Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission. Attendees have the opportunity to submit questions and RSVP at this link.
