Objective

By creating a platform for bi-directional dialogue on community-identified health priorities, Community Convos build connection and understanding in our communities.

About

Community Convos are a free monthly conversation series that brings together health practitioners, academics, and thought leaders with community members to discuss topics that promote and support the well-being of our communities.

  • “My favorite part [of the workshops] was being able to listen and understand what other people were going through while others also understood what I was going through while not feeling judged at all.”

    Workshop Participant

  • “What keeps me coming back to the Mental Health Access Network is that this space feels different…The commitment to creating a space where people can genuinely show up as themselves is reflected in the way the community engages with one another..”
