Dear Neighbor,
In case you missed it, my office recently celebrated World Mental Health Day by hosting our first-ever Mental Health Resource Fair for the Northeast Los Angeles community. The inaugural event raised awareness of mental health issues and provided resources like on-site psychological counseling and meditation sessions at no cost to the community. The focus was to ensure that mental health resources are readily available to communities where they need them the most, to destigmatize mental health, and to acknowledge that mental health is wellness.
