In addition to the development of a local crisis response team, the City of Eureka is proud to present a series of Community Health Town Halls. These events are meant to establish a new space for community members and local organizations to discuss mental health, substance use, homelessness, and other holistic health topics--as well as our community’s response to these topics in Eureka and Humboldt County.
The Town Halls are a moderated open forum environment with a panel of topic-specific professionals in the community. These quarterly sessions host a variety of targeted topics, beginning with Mental Health 101 and covering a broad range of areas such as homelessness, emergency mental health access, adult continuum care, children and juvenile care, how mental health programs interact with local government, developmental and intellectual disabilities, seniors and the physically disabled, and employee mental health in work environments--as well as many more.
All community members are invited to attend these town halls and participate in discussions regarding mental health and the challenges we face as a community in ensuring individuals have access to quality mental health care, substance use response, and housing services. All information relating to each town hall is available at eurekaca.gov/townhall, for community members and interested organizations to review.
This project page is dedicated to continuing the conversations surrounding community health, hosting informational resources for each Town Hall topic, and encouraging collaboration between community members and healthcare organizations within the region. Sign up for project notifications to get the latest information on upcoming town halls, project resources, related community events, and new posts or discussions.
