Juvenile Justice Advocacy Team Meeting

The Prisoners or Patients Ministry established itself to examine the intersection of criminal justice and mental health of adults in our community.  The Advocacy Team of that ministry is now looking at Juvenile Justice and Mental Health and we invite you to join us as we educate ourselves on this topic.

Meetings will be held the third Tuesday of the month at The Basilica from 5:30 – 7:00pm and will include dinner, presentations by community experts, and discussion.

There will be a Zoom option as well.
