As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our communities, OMH is following up with some of the presenters from its 2020 virtual symposium, Advancing the Response to COVID-19: Sharing Promising Programs and Practices for Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities. We invite you to follow this five-part series to learn how they have continued to make positive impacts in the communities they serve during the COVID-19 pandemic.
