Mayor Peter Schwartzman will host a public forum on Mental Health on Thursday, December 5th (starting at 6 PM), at the Galesburg Public Library (Community Room). This event serves as an opportunity for local residents and mental health providers to talk about challenges that they are facing and as well as opportunities for collaboration and improved levels of care.
Bridgeway performed a Community Needs Assessment this year that resulted in a report released a few months ago (a link to it can be found on the Mayor’s Facebook page). This work provides great background information on the topic. Attendees to the public forum should take a look at this report.
Maintaining good mental health is a challenge for all of us given the stressors in all of our lives. It is important for our community to work together to ensure that everyone has access to the care they need to thrive! Please come out and share your thoughts and help create a healthy pathway for all in our community.
