The podcast series highlighting outstanding and innovative programs at the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) continues with a visit to another Peer Resource Center located in South Los Angeles, California. This Center is part of a sprawling complex at the Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Hospital, in an area renown for a lack of services. In a welcoming space expressed by both staff and its decor, the Center is on the ground floor of a building that provides an array of mental health services. Listen to this episode and you will hear from Roslynn Adolphus, Supervising Community Health Worker, who describes the menu of activities and support awaiting anyone who walks in the door. This includes art classes, parenting groups and special attention for youth in those pivotal years of 18 to 25 years old. This Peer Resource Center at the MLK Hospital, sits on the border of Watts and Compton, neighborhoods predominately Black and Latino with residents often struggling to manage to survive the demands of daily life. The Center staff, like Roslynn, are ready to meet those in need wherever they are, whether it is just a place that offers them comfort or to provide some of the basics like food and clothing. The Peer Resource Centers are a model for how to make our communities better during these troubling times. They provide a path to the motto of the Mental Health Department, “Hope, Recovery and Wellbeing”. The LACDMH access number for help is 1-800-854-7771 The National Suicide Crisis Lifeline is #988
