Indiana State Representative Victoria Garcia Wilburn, with a district that includes a part of western Fishers, has just secured election to another 2 years in the General Assembly. She is wasting no time getting back to work, with an event coming up at the Hamilton East Library in Fishers.
She is telling young people in her district “It’s okay to not be okay.” It is a message that if you are battling mental health issues, there is help for you.
“We’re Listening: Youth Council on the State of Youth Mental Health” will take place on Monday, Nov. 18 from 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. at the Fishers Public Library (5 Municipal Drive, Fishers, IN 46038) in the Center Room. While the event is for middle and high school-aged youth, parents are of course encouraged to attend.
This will include:
- A free pizza dinner;
- An open dialogue with Rep. Garcia Wilburn on the mental health and well-being of you and your friends;
- Tools for advocating for more mental health support from the Indiana state government; and
- A workshop on how to cope and deal with mental health issues.
“This discussion and workshop is specifically for some of my youngest constituents – middle and high schoolers,” Garcia Wilburn said in a news release. “As a mom and someone who works with kids all the time, I can see that your generation is struggling.”
Ms. Garcia Wilburn represents Indiana House District 32.
