LAPPN Hosts "Breaking Stigma, Embracing Strength" Event In Coon Rapids To Support African Immigrants' Mental Health

The Liberian Advanced Practice Providers Network (LAPPN) is stepping into the spotlight with its upcoming event, Breaking Stigma, Embracing Strength, designed to address the wellbeing of African immigrants by focusing on mental health and providing essential healthcare services.

Set for Saturday, May 10, from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., this gathering will take over the Coon Rapids YMCA at 8950 Springbrook Drive NW, in what promises to be an enlightening and supportive environment, as the LAPPN aims to shed light on mental health issues that often go undiscussed within the African immigrant community. According to Anoka County's announcement detailing the event’s schedule, attendees can expect a range of activities, including the opportunity for blood pressure checks, and vaccines for COVID-19, flu, and MMR are to be provided alongside Q+A sessions and cultural engagement activities.

In an effort to foster a welcoming atmosphere, the event organizers have also promised food, refreshments, and giveaways, aiming to attract and engage participants on multiple levels.

If you're looking to get involved or have any inquiries regarding this essential community initiative, reaching out to the organizers is simple—just send an email to libappn1@gmail.com, and they will be more than happy to provide further details or assistance.
