🚫💬 BOO! Out Bullying! 💬🚫

Community HealthNet Health Centers joined Thea Bowman Leadership Academy for a powerful Bullying Awareness Presentation. CHN’s Community Health Worker, Michael Assefa inspired us all.

Before a large audience of 100’s of students and staff, Michael inspired everyone to choose kindness, be empathetic and stand up against bullying. 💪🏾💜

💡 “Blowing out someone else’s candle won’t make yours shine brighter.”

Special thanks to Dr. Goodes, Dr. Seabrook, Dr. Armston and Thea Bowman Leadership Academy for the partnership and support!
