Healthcare equity and access to mental health wellness are the topics of the next Front Porch Gathering event on Tuesday, April 17, 6:30 p.m. at Austin Community College Eastview Campus, Multi-Purpose Room.

Join community residents, thought leaders and health advocates for an exploration of the current resources, systems and approaches to addressing public health, access to care, behavioral health challenges, mental health wellness and community services for our community’s most vulnerable populations. The event is free and open to the public. Food will be provided.

More about the Front Porch Gatherings: Hosted by the Community Engagement Center, a unit within the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, the Front Porch Gatherings represent UT’s open door to the Austin community, providing time and space for community collaboration. Designed to activate more than just dialogue, the gatherings connect UT Austin research and resources with community members and organizations. The monthly gatherings work to address issues of equity, disparity and access through active engagement.
