Peak Wellness Center to host webinar focused on Minority Mental Health Awareness Month – Wyoming Tribune

CHEYENNE Community experts from the Wyoming Department of Health and the University of Wyoming will join Peak Wellness Center for this months installment of the Tuesday Webinar Series.

This months webinar topic and the focus of Peaks outreach all month long is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Minority Mental Health Awareness Month was designated by Congress in 2008 to help raise awareness about the stigma associated with mental health conditions and treatment, the lack of access to care and the lack of culturally specific services that prevent many from seeking and receiving adequate treatment for what are often treatable conditions.

Joining Peak Wellness Centers Angela Johnson will be Lillian Zuniga, program manager for the Wyoming Department of Healths Office of Health Equity, and Julio Brionez of the University of Wyoming Counseling Center.

The webinar will begin at 12:15 p.m. July 21 on Peak Wellness Centers Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PeakWellnessCenterWyoming/). To participate or view the discussion, viewers will need a Facebook account and will need to navigate to Peak Wellnesss Facebook Videos section at the start time.

A recorded version of the webinar will be available after the event for those who could not attend or who do not have a Facebook account.
