“We Shall Overcome” COVID-19 and its Trifecta of Pandemic, Economic Impact, and Social [Justice] Upheaval.
The annual Health and Wellness conversations are an agenda item on the JWOF's mission of community outreach. The event is now in its seventh year. It continues to attract large audiences because of its meaningful exchange of information regarding the health and well-being affecting our families. The forum will also include a question and answer period.
We will host our annual Health and Wellness Forum, on September 19, 2020. This year's community conversation will be a virtual event in collaboration with Broward County’s West Regional Library and streamed live on Webex.
The three-hour forum is FREE to the public and addresses topical issues related to health and wellness especially during these challenging times of COVID-19
The panelists include Melissa Noel, a multi-media and television journalist, Aisha McDonald, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Sandy Michael McDonald, Director of the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD), Dr. Karen Walker Coutrier, Nurse Practitioner (RN, PNP, Ph.D.) and moderator Sofiya Ballin, an award-winning journalist, writer, producer, and curator.
Attendees will hear from these community leaders who are at the forefront of identifying the impact of varying issues associated with COVID-19 as well as the resulting social unrest in our communities and how we are being affected emotionally, economically, and physically. These leaders will also share solutions and resources to assist in taking us all through these very challenging times.
JWOF encourages the community to attend this power-filled informative afternoon of learning.
Stay with us after the discussion for a live yoga session with Alex Nim of Body & Brain Pinecrest.
