Mental Healthcare in West Africa
Speaker – Dr. Jocelyn Bonner
New Southtowne member Dr Jocelyn Bonner will share her passion for mental health, focusing on her project with West African Youth. Now a retired community psychiatrist and private practitioner, Jocelyn is a volunteer advocate for Association Saint-Camille in Benin. They serve the mentally ill, who are often poor, and unhoused. Due to cultural beliefs, many are shunned from their families.
December 15
Live Performance from South Eugene High School
We will have a special holiday program on Thursday, December 15th. Most of you recall our holiday tradition of having the South Eugene HS choir perform for us. It’s been a few years since they’ve been able to do so because of the pandemic. Due to some related regulations, they won’t be able to perform for us in person, but they are going to treat us to a live performance via Zoom on the 15th.
