Supporting Our Resilient Community

Join us as we reflect on the Monterey Park, CA mass shooting and other senseless acts of violence which plague our community and our country. These acts further reaffirm our commitment to leading with empathy and fostering a sense of community for our people.

We will explore the far reaching mental health impact of violence, solutions for navigating this violence pandemic and strategies for embracing our resilience in face of adversity. We also remember the victims and their families of senseless violence impacting the black community.
