Living Waters Inc to Host Mental Health Summit

DAVIDSON, N.C. - EntSun -- Living Waters Inc will host the Mental Health Summit: "Bridges and Barriers to Community Connections: Town of Davidson, NC and Surrounding Communities."

The free summit will bring together community leaders, healthcare professionals, faith leaders, educators, advocates, service organizations and residents to discuss ways to improve access to mental health care and strengthen connections to community resources.

Addressing mental and emotional health needs at the community level often requires overcoming barriers to care while strengthening the relationships and resources that already exist. The summit will explore how healthcare systems, social service organizations, faith communities and other local partners can work together to better support children, individuals and families.

Special attention will be given to populations that may face additional challenges accessing services, including older adults, people experiencing homelessness, and disadvantaged racial and ethnic communities.
