Navigating the Future by Looking to the Past: A Discussion on Black Mental Health

When things feel so uncertain, it can be difficult to know how to plan for the future. One way of navigating the future is to look to the past. What do those older than us, who've seen more, have to say about the present and the future?

In this workshop host Silena Scott, Ph.D, LMFT, and Jordan Harris, Ph.D LPC-s, LMFT-s, will talk live with Mrs. Dorothy Marcy, a clinician for 4 decades on the past, present and future of therapy and mental health for the black community.

Come join the discussion!
