Mental Health & Serious Youth Violence: What Will The New World Look Like? with Hanif E. A. Benjamin

As part of ACT CIC Working with Gangs & Youth Violence events, this month we will be hosting and discussing Mental Health in honour of World Mental Health Day. Join us and our international speaker Hanif E. A. Benjamin from the Trinidad & Tobago/Caribbean who will be bringing a global perspective in mental health and serious youth violence, looking at the impact of COVID19 and what the new world will look like.

This class will look at the changing emergence of mental health in a “Post Pandemic” world where the shame and stigma must be addressed in order for Mental Health to be a priority for all, in all spaces and across all lines.

Attendees can expect to learn:

• What practitioners/ professionals can be doing
• The practical steps organisations / agencies + professionals can be taking towards making mental health a global priority
• Widening our lenses from just a local/ national perspective to international or global perspective
• Military responses to youth violence + gangs
• and more…
