Community Advisory Council
Thursday, June 16, we will be having our monthly meeting from 5:30-7:30pm. This month we will be having a Talking Circle with the focus being the recent events in Orlando, Florida. Talking Circles have been used as part of the healing process by many tribal nations. It is with this intent of healing that we ask everyone to come participate. Our mental health professionals will be available during this time as well. For more info call me, John Marcus, at 313-846-6030.
