Neighborhood civic dialogue on mental health with WHYY's Bridging Blocks series at Roxborough Library.
WHYY is bringing Bridging Blocks to the Roxborough Library on Monday, October 26, for a neighborhood discussion on mental health. It's part of their civic dialog series, which they run through the News Community and Engagement team in partnership with The Free Library of Philadelphia. The whole point of the series is to take these kinds of conversations directly into the community rather than keeping them in a studio or a boardroom, and this session focuses on mental health.
If you're not familiar, Bridging Blocks is a civic dialog series, meaning it's built around people talking through a specific topic together. This particular one centers on mental health, a subject that touches almost everyone in some way, and the goal is to get neighbors in the same room talking about it. It's less of a lecture and more of a community conversation, and because it's hosted at the library, it's right in the neighborhood.
WHYY's News Community and Engagement team puts this on in partnership with The Free Library of Philadelphia, and they've been bringing Bridging Blocks to different spots across the city. The focus here is on mental health, and this session is aimed at adults and seniors, so it's a good fit if you're looking for a conversation with people in your own age group. It's a chance to hear where your neighbors stand on a topic that can often feel private, and to add your own voice to the mix.
