The League of Women Voters of Roseville Area will host a presentation and discussion on community mental health on Tuesday March 21st from 6:30pm-8:00pm at the Autumn Grove Park Building, 1365 Lydia Avenue West, Roseville.

Molli Slade, an experienced community-based licensed mental health social worker, will speak about community mental health. The discussion will focus on how to effectively engage and support people diagnosed with or showing symptoms of mental health issues, including suicidal ideation, depression and psychosis. It will include how we can start and maintain difficult conversations, what resources are available, and what resources are still needed.

On January 21, 2017 millions of women and men around the world, including close to 100,000 in Minnesota, joined together to make their voices heard.  Many now are asking “What’s Next?  What can we do so we don’t lose our momentum?”

From the workplace to the home to the health care system to the judicial realm, the struggle for women's equality continues. Please join us as we partner with the Roseville Library and the group Do Good Roseville for a viewing and discussion of the film "Equal Means Equal."  Thursday, March 9, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.at the Roseville Library Community Room.  

The League is proud to partner with the Women's March on Washington - Saturday January 21. As women and defenders of our democracy, there is more that unites us than divides us. We march for voting rights. We march to reform money in politics. We march for health care. We march for the environment.  Here is a link to the Women's March on Washington.

If you are unable to march in Washington, D.C., you can participate in the Women's March Minnesota, which culminates with a rally at noon at the State Capitol.
