Brooklyn Public Library's Community Health Team and The National Alliance on Mental Illness of New York City (NAMI-NYC) invite you to join us for a Community Conversation & Resource Fair.

Mental health affects all of us – let's talk about it! Join us for a discussion: we'll screen a short video and ask for your thoughts. Then, meet some community partners offering free mental health programs and resources.

This event aims to reduce mental health stigma among New Yorkers who identify as Latino, but all are welcome to join us. 

*The first 10 participants at the 1:30 PM screening and 2:30 PM screening will receive a $25 gift card* 

Free refreshments will also be provided.
