Local residents and mental health providers will gather for a forum on mental health at 6 p.m. Dec. 5 in the community room of the Galesburg Public Library. The forum is sponsored by Galesburg Mayor Peter Schwartzman.
Schwartzman says the 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 several months ago.
“Maintaining good mental health is a challenge for all of us given the stressors in all of our lives,” Schwartzman said. “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.”
