Looking to shine a light on mental health resources, Montgomery County Council President Kate Stewart is teaming up with Congressman Jamie Raskin for a virtual community meeting. Set for Thursday, March 6 at 7:30 p.m., this session is part of the United in Service and Support series and will be accessible to the public via Zoom, according to a recent announcement.
Understanding that the federal workforce is grappling with everything from what the future holds to rights being challenged, these leaders are stepping up to offer support. They will be joined by representatives from the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, MoCo Pride, EveryMind, and the Black Physicians and Healthcare Network, all set to provide insights and guidance, as was explained in the recent press release. These resource sessions have been placed as critical touchpoints for residents affected by the pressing concerns circling employment, housing, and health.
The Montgomery County Council has curated a handy resource webpage, offering residents a trove of information on a variety of services throughout the area. Looking forward, additional dates for webinars within this service series can be found on the United in Service and Support webpage. Individuals looking to have their voices heard can submit questions to the council or reserve their digital seat for the meeting, with doors metaphorically opening at 7:20 p.m. on March 6.
An important note for non-English speakers, simultaneous interpretation in Spanish will be provided during the information session. In keeping with accessibility, the webinar will also reach residents via County Cable Montgomery and streaming on both the Council's YouTube and Facebook pages. Breaching the digital barrier, the online host will ensure privacy by reading out messages from the Q&A feature without releasing personal details, as stated by the council's press release. Offering a virtual bridge to professional advice and support, the meeting is being positioned as a beacon in these complex times.
