Last Saturday we had the second workshop in our mental health series “Strength Building for Your Mind” facilitated by the dynamic and compassionate Antoine Craigwell, mental health advocate and founder of DGBM. We are grateful to our hosts for the workshop, Yogashakti Yoga Studio (shout out to Kim) and to all the co-sponsors who supported the workshop. What resulted was a powerful dialogue about struggles with mental health - everything from anxiety and depression to su***de to serious mental illness to drug and alcohol use and more. Our aim is to provide culturally responsive programming as we know us best. Thank you to Antoine for the care you put into leading us and to our team for ensuring all went smoothly throughout. And finally, thank you to those who bravely attended and continue to show up for mental health, in your lives and for your loved ones. Our next workshop is at Lefferts Library this Saturday!
