This gathering is intended to provide Downstate providers, students, and community members with an opportunity to engage and proactively discuss the state of mental health in our community. Our goal is to break down barriers and promote mental wellness for all. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn, share, and connect with others who are passionate about mental health advocacy as well as provide insight on approaches to mental wellbeing that integrate music, culture, and spirituality in collective healing.
On December 3rd, 1992, tennis champion, humanitarian, and activist, Arthur Ashe, founded the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. Arthur Ashe envisioned an Institute that would address the inequalities that existed in healthcare through innovative health promotion and health education programs. In creating the Institute, Arthur Ashe wanted to focus on improving health outcomes within the community through strategic partnerships to conduct research, raise health awareness, increase the representation of individuals of color in the health professions, and inform health policy.
