The Momentous Institute is hosting a free panel discussion and launching a tool kit to help families navigate the mental health crisis on Tuesday. Dr. Jessica Gomez, Executive Director of the organization, emphasizes the importance of addressing mental health issues to combat stigma and improve access to services and educational opportunities. She highlights the need for more attention to mental health in Texas, which currently ranks last in all states for access to care and prevalence rates of mental illness.
Dr. Gomez encourages people to have open conversations about mental health and utilize proven strategies to promote mental wellness. The organization is hosting a free event on the root causes of the mental health crisis at Collin College Frisco Campus on April 30th at 5:30 pm. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about mental health and potentially win tickets to the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Players and caddies at the tournament will be wearing green ribbons for mental health awareness, with information on how they maintain their mental health displayed on their bibs instead of their names.
Dr. Gomez encourages individuals to take advantage of these resources and engage in conversations about mental health to help raise awareness and support those in need. By coming together as a community, we can work towards improving mental health services and breaking down barriers to care for all individuals.
