It’s always nice when we do these screenings if we can have a mental health resource on hand to provide information and services. At our Community Healing Screening on 6/1 at the Douglass Branch Library we will be lucky enough to have Flourish Research present an information table. Roberto Navia will give a brief presentation on what Flourish Research does for the community and will have literature available for those interested. One of the services that Flourish Research provides is free memory assessments, which is a perfect tie-in for June being Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month and the theme of Cortez Mack’s short film “Bobby,” which is about dementia and how one family copes with it. Some statistics state that dementia is an ailment that impacts the black community in a 2:1 ratio, and the film “Bobby” comments upon that phenomenon.
