A virtual panel discussion titled "Mental and Physical Resilience in the Time of COVID" will be held by St. Louis Community College in an effort to help the neighbourhood and increase knowledge of the advantages of public health care. The conversation, which is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 6 to 8 p.m., will centre on mental and physical resilience as well as the importance of careers in public health.

Public health professionals and educators will talk about the value of overall health during this event and provide advice on how individuals may improve both their physical and mental health.

The discussion will also centre on two public health professional paths—nursing and behavioural health support—that are setting the standard for bettering integrated health care.
