The Lafayette Mental Health Team (MHT) is excited to share this month’s MHT Newsletter discussing the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service!
This month’s edition (English and Spanish versions) outlines suggestions of how to commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the MLK Day of Service established in his honor.
The MHT newsletter has links to learn more through other resources and to look for upcoming Lafayette Gives Back events that will take place throughout an expanded “MLK Month”!
