Join YNPN San Diego on Thursday, May 14th from 6 - 7pm, for our FIRST virtual workshop!

Our Breaking Down Barriers: Mental Health & Wellbeing During COVID-19 workshop will explore self-care strategies and participate in facilitated discussions on mental health and wellbeing during COVID-19. This interactive workshop will be featuring Vanessa Pineda and Gabriela Masuda from the Breaking Down Barriers program at Jewish Family Service. 

Breaking Down Barriers is an outreach program that works with underserved communities to talk about mental wellness. Through educational presentations and events, they discuss the stigma of mental health and connect participants to helpful resources. They also do cultural competency training to community members that work with these diverse populations. Breaking Down Barriers want to normalize conversations about mental wellness so everyone can thrive.
