Description:

In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, please join us for an evening of mental health awareness and education as we seek to break down the barriers surrounding mental health within our community. 

Our group of panelists will be sharing their personal journeys of how the arts have helped them cope with a mental health condition. This event is the second event to the Breaking the Barrier series, as we tackle the stigma surrounding mental health conditions. We aim to establish a supportive environment that encourages dialogue and ensures access to appropriate resources for mental health and wellness within our community.

The mission of MakeSpace is to serve as an inclusive, welcoming hub for the Washington Metropolitan area Muslim community, with a strong focus on youth and young professionals. We aim to help our members grow spiritually, intellectually and professionally. We further aim to help the community develop an American Muslim identity rooted in the values of balance and compassion through educational programs, civic engagement initiatives, community service projects and recreational activities.
