Beyond Access: Creating Mental Health Spaces Where Everyone Belongs

Join the Inclusive Healthy Communities as they host Samantha Messeck, LSW, from the Gateway Wellness Center.

Samantha’s presentation will explore inclusive mental health practices and the difference between providing access to services and creating environments where individuals feel welcomed, respected, understood, and valued.

Participants will discover barriers to inclusion, including those experienced by neurodivergent individuals, and learn practical strategies for promoting accessibility, equity, belonging, and person-centered care across diverse populations.
