Leadership Raleigh 26 —
Human services day review

On Dec. 14 attendees learned about local human services, including mental health and emergency response.

LR 25 graduate and Human Services Co-chair Natalie Britt explained the importance of the Human Services Day: "This year's Human Services Day included two very timely subjects. We started with a panel on mental health and mental health reform just as it has been announced Dix Hospital is closing by the end of the year, and the day ended with the poverty simulation exercise provided by the United Way od the Greater Triangle. The class also learned about The Healing Place of Wake County and the Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle. At this time of the year as we approach the holiday season, it is important to remember the less fortunate among us. Human Services Day was a memorable and inspirational day for LR 26."
