Community-Driven Roundtable Discussion on Mental Health We are currently focusing on promoting mental health and well-being among descendants of Caribbean and South American countries living in Alberta. On March 1 2025 we will hold our first mental health community dialogue in Calgary. Alberta Health Services (2021) reported that racism causes trauma and trauma paints a direct line to mental illnesses. Ethnic and ethnocultural groups along with racial and visible minorities are a source of mutual support that can be strengthened and magnified by sharing resources and ideas. Through a mental health community roundtable discussion we intend to promote communication and purposeful collaboration among these groups to address their communities' mental health needs.
