Mental Health in the African-American Community - 50 Passport Points

7:00 pm • join on Zoom
Speaker • Brittney Ball

Join Shreveport-Bossier counselor, Brittney Ball, in person in the Whited Room or over Zoom to discuss the stigma about mental health in the African-American community and ways to overcome it.

• Centenary Neighborhood trash collection
• Assembling supply baskets for the Volunteers of America’s McAdoo residential facility for individuals with chronic mental illness.
• Centenary Community Garden - For this opportunity, please wear warm clothing that you do not mind getting dirty.
