Healthy Community Initiative

Recognizing the significant gap between youth and adults various understandings about mental health the twelve youth that make up the Northfield Union of Youth Mental Health Board applied for a grant to host an event that intentionally brings together youth and adults, people who are currently experiencing mental health issues and those that are not and have facilitated discussions to bridge gaps and facilitate understanding. Eating a meal together is a good way to build connections, so the event will include dinner as a way to break barriers and for people to bond and learn from one another.
