WHAT – Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages (D – Valley Stream) will participate in a 1 p.m. fireside panel discussion at the third annual “BreaKING the Ice” Black Men’s Mental Health Conference at Adelphi University on Saturday, April 27.
During the daylong seminar, scholars, and practitioners with expertise in policy development, practice, mental health, prevention, intervention and education will discuss the key challenges facing Black men in the pursuit of mental health care. Dr. Anthony Estreet, CEO of the National Association of Social Workers, is the event’s plenary speaker.
