ONANCOCK, Virginia – At every stage in life, mental health shapes how someone learns, works, connects and thrives. For many individuals and families, knowing where to turn for support is a challenge.
On Saturday, April 25 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., community members will have an opportunity to connect with local mental health providers at a free resource expo and panel discussion at Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital (RSMH).
RSMH and the Eastern Shore Community Services Board (ESCSB) are teaming up to provide in-person education stations covering mental health counseling, crisis services, substance use recovery and wellness programs. The expo from 11 a.m. until noon is intended to increase awareness of available resources and reduce barriers to care.
“Mental health is a critical part of overall health, and many people are unsure where to turn for help,” said Sally Schreiber at RSMH. “This event brings trusted information together in one place and makes it accessible to the community.”
At noon RSMH will virtually join a regional event taking place in Hampton, VA with keynote remarks by TV Judge Glenda Hatchett, and a panel discussion.
The free event is open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required at riversideonline.com/healthequityshore.
In-person attendees will receive gifts and will be eligible for door prizes.
