This is a deeply challenging time for many communities and uncertainty is making things even harder. While we've seen people come together in new, previously unimagined ways and these connections have made a huge difference in our day-to-day lives, we are still seeing social isolation and uncertainty have an enormous impact on our mental health. Given this reality, I will be hosting my first virtual town hall focused on mental health.

I'll be joined by a behavioral health expert, school board members, educators, students, and parents to discuss resources on digital wellness and mental health with a focus on youth mental and behavioral health. It's going to take everyone - parents, teachers, and students, to help in this effort to be healthier together! Our Virtual Town Hall participants / Co-Hosts include:
1. Doreen Dodgen-Magee, Tualatin resident, Award winning author, speaker and psychologist will discuss ways to cope with the heightened emotions associated with being out of control of your surroundings and experiences.
2. Diane Solomon: Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She will discuss the ABCDEs of self care to keep yourself and loved ones emotionally and physically well.
3. Robin Henderson: PsyD, West Linn Resident, Psychologist, Chief Executive of Behavioral Health at Providence, Oregon. She works with the Work2BeWell project, focused on providing free resources to students, parents, and teachers to support mental and emotional well being.
4. Pam Pearce, WL Resident. Community Organizer at Community Living Above, co-founder Harmony Academy, Oregon's first recovery high school, and Co-Creator of Family Inspired Recovery, a community based, family and peer centered program offering support for adolescents who are struggling with substance misuse and high-risk behaviors. She will talk about local resources to educate, engage, and empower our community to find information and resources that will help individuals and families with Substance Use/Mental Health.
5. Cyndy Hillier, Tualatin Resident, ED of Tualatin Together. She will speak to the mission of supporting a community environment that discourages and reduces substance abuse and promotes factors that protect our youth.
6. Regan Molatore, Chair of the WLWV school board. She will discuss the importance of mental health resources for our students. Also updates on school district work to address students during COVID 19.
7. Oppen up for community questions and conversation.
