EQUITY & MENTAL HEALTH: COLLECTIVE BURNOUT; COLLABORATIVE RESTORATION
Tuesday, February 22, 2022听 |听11 a.m. -12 p.m.听| Virtual
Since the start of the pandemic, topics such as burnout, brain fog, anxiety and self-care have taken center stage, as many are paying greater attention to their own mental health and the mental health of those around them. However, understandings of mental health and opportunities to improve wellbeing can vary greatly among different groups. Join us and our panel of experts as we discuss this shift to a more holistic society, and why access to professional and self-care isn鈥檛 the same for everyone. We will explore the question: what changes can we make to create a more equitable community? There will be time at the end of the discussion for audience Q&A, and sharing of local and national resources for mental health and wellbeing.

Over 50 years after the Civil Rights Movement, our country is still asking some of the same questions. How can we ensure that everyone has fair and equal rights? And how do we create a more equitable criminal justice system?听Join us for an exciting dialogue with Dr. Megan Ming Francis, Associate Professor of Political Science and and Adjunct Professor of Law, Societies, and Justice at The University of Washington as we unpack a brief history of our legal system, the differing impacts it has had on specific groups and geographic locations and consider what changes we could make to foster a more equitable community.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion has been at the forefront of national conversation over the last few years. However, we have also seen a wave of fatigue around these topics leaving some asking why this is still an area of focus. Join us for an engaging discussion with three leaders in our community from the areas of public health, outreach and education and criminal justice. Together will explore how equity continuously intersects with their work in the community, how conversations have evolved in the last few years and what we all can do to contribute to making our counties places where everyone can thrive.
