I need a minute Monthly series

.Friday, February 26th at 1 PM EST
​Join the Black History Month INAM Event
​Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd… Unfortunately, these are the most recent African American victims that have lost their lives by the hands of law enforcement or vigilantes for being Black in America. The global observation of this loss of life from a historical, racial, oppressive, policing system has and continues to have a significant impact on the mental health and physical health of all Americans witnessing these actions and responses. We invite all members of the counseling community to join us as we understand the need and purpose of a space for community and collective mourning as we continue pursuing social justice.
