Mental Health Discussion
Drinks & Dialogue on March 5
 
The League will host a Drinks and Dialogue event featuring the discussion topic on Mental Health.  Drinks and Dialogue events provide an informal setting for people to discuss ideas, share opinions, ask questions and become more aware of governmental issues.
 
Join this conversation to discuss Mental Health as a follow-up to last fall's discussion. The local mental health landscape has evolved. For example, the county has created additional resources such as the Mental Health Action Plan and the Behavioral Health Coordinating Council.  How do these initiatives fit together? What steps can the League and the public take to improve mental health care in the community?
 
To prepare for this conversation, consider reviewing the mental health section of our LWV_McLean_County_Positions_03272023.pdf

For Your Information -- Allyship Institute 2023
 
The YWCA McLean County, one of our community partners, is offering the Allyship Institute from February 26 - March 1. It is a course to serve as an inclusive space for individuals from all backgrounds to come together and engage in meaningful dialogue, learning, and self-reflection. Participants will not only gain a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by Black and disabled individuals but explore practical strategies to offer support and interrupt patterns of stigmatization.  By actively engaging in this course, participants become catalysts for social justice, promoting inclusivity, equality, and dignity for all. 
 
The course is free with an option to donate or purchase a t-shirt/sweatshirt. For more information and to register see Allyship Institute
