Description

UNIK Foundation and the ADAMH Board will host a Panel Discussion to bring awareness to mental health, substance abuse, incarceration, diversity, and inclusion. We are honored to have Dr. Ameena Kemavor of the ADAMH Board as our Keynote Speaker who will address Mental Health and the ADAMH’s Board’s involvement in Community Engagement. Dr. Hanad Duale, Founder of UNIK Foundation, will be the quest moderator. The panelist are community leaders and experts in the fields of mental health, incarceration, immigrants/refugees, restored citizens, veterans, and the homeless communities of Franklin County. There is a distinct correlation among these communities as it relates to incarceration, homelessness, and mental health. Participants will receive information about community resource, housing opportunities, and direct links to services. Frequently asked questions which we hope to cover: What is mental health? What do I do if the support doesn't help? Can you prevent mental health problems? Are there cures for mental health problems? What causes mental health problems? What do I do if I'm worried about my mental health? How do I know if I'm unwell? Participants and professionals will gain the education and information necessary to build healthy and safe communities for all.
