Building Connections:
FREE Workshops Supporting Mental Health & Well-Being in Your Community

Why should I attend a Building Connections workshop?
This series provides several perspectives and strategies to help people struggling with mental health issues - from ways to offer help, to having a planned response to suicidal thinking or understanding the complexities of mental health issues in an immigrant community. See below for the full series, and register for one or all.
