The Montgomery County Council will host a virtual Town Hall meeting on mental health on Tuesday, March 1 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm through Zoom. This event will serve as a listening session. We want to get feedback from residents about their views, experiences and suggestions for mental health resources and support in Montgomery County, with the aim of continuing to work together on:
Breaking down misperceptions about mental health issues and promoting recovery and a healthy community; Finding innovative community-based solutions to mental health needs; Developing clear steps for our community to address mental health needs that complement existing government services and the outstanding work of our existing community partners.
The Council will be joined by representatives from community partner organizations to provide residents with information on mental health resources. Residents are encouraged to sign up and submit their priority topics, questions, and comments beforehand. Register in advance for this webinar here. After registering, participants will receive a confirmation email directly from Zoom containing information about how to join the webinar.
We also encourage residents to fill out the survey to provide additional feedback. The survey is available in English here and Spanish here.
The virtual Mental Health Town Hall meeting will be streamed live on the Council’s web page via YouTube (MoCoCouncilMD) and on Facebook Live (MontgomeryCountyMdCouncil) and can also be watched on County Cable Montgomery on channels 30 (Fios), 1056 (RCN) and 996 (Xfinity).
