Educational Forum on the Mental Health Needs of Refugees/Immigrants
The goal of the educational forum April 17, 2008 was to promote awareness and understanding of the mental health needs of immigrants and refugees living in our Charlotte-Mecklenburg community and to develop a coalition around these issues in order to effectively advocate and impact local public policy.  Presenters included Capt. John Tuskan of SAMSHA, Jennifer Morillo, NC Refugee Health Coordinator, and Nora Hernandez with MHA-NC.  The MHA plans to make this an annual event.

May 2008 Calendar of Events
October - Mental Illness Awareness Week
In the first week of October, we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week with a special kick-off program and events. For more information about our next event, call 704.365.3454 or email mha@mhacentralcarolinas.org.

Public Forums
Throughout the year, we host public educational forums. One such forum is held to share information gathered in biennial surveys of local service providers contracted by Mecklenburg's AMH (Area Mental Health Authority) and Cabarrus' PBH (Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare). This forum offers an opportunity for everyone in our community to hear the final report and to ask additional questions of the local management entities - AMH and PBH.

Another type of public forum is our more customary "educational" forum on a particular topic related to mental health. The main presentation is followed by a question and answer sessions. All forums are free and open to the public.

Swing for Wellness Golf Tournament (Mecklenburg County)
Every spring, we hold a fund-raising golf tournament at a local Charlotte golf club. Sponsorship and player packages are available for this popular event. Our 2008 Presenting Sponsor was SunTrust Bank. For more details about how you can get into the swing of things, call us at 704.365.3454.
