Response to Recent Events

Posted: June 4, 2020

Words cannot the sadness and frustration in our hearts. The deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and several other African American victims shed light on the systemic racism that is rampant in our society and needs to be addressed. These injustices represent the African American suffering that has been present in this country for hundreds of years. We recognize the imperative need for everyone in our society to demand justice. Black. Lives. Matter. As a community, we must take responsibility to be an ally and endorse anti-racist practices in our country.

If you need to speak to someone during this challenging time, we are allies and here to assist you. The Good Life Center for Mental Health supports the Black Lives Matter movement and its plea for racial equality. We stand with every minority in this country against racial injustice.
