Description

Join us for the Lee’s Summit Chamber’s monthly luncheon for an important and timely conversation about mental health in our workplaces and communities.

Breaking the Silence: A Conversation on Mental Health will bring together local experts for an honest panel discussion about recognizing mental health challenges, reducing stigma and creating more supportive environments for employees, families and our community Friday, October 16 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Abundant Life CORE Building.

With an earlier start time, attendees can visit Chamber-member vendor booths to learn more about local health-related services available to them and have their passports marked to be eligible to register for a raffle!
