On the last Thursday of October a very important town hall meeting was held at the Jacob Center where a small but enthusiastic crowd of people showed up to ask questions and share testimonies.

Sponsored by the BRIDGE Team at A Better Life Together, Inc. (ABL) in collaboration with the Department of Developmental Services, with a host of vendors present, the focus was on Black/ African American families. The goal was to help families in our marginalized communities by having their voices heard and also to provide a safe space for dialogue pertaining to mental health, autism and more.
