Monday, September 19th 2016, from 5:30-8pm, at 2300 Dumbarton Road, Richmond VA, the McShin Foundation is hosting a forum for people to talk to Richmond’s mayoral candidates about mental illness and substance abuse disorders affecting the community. All eight candidates will be present, and Carol McDaid (co-founder of the McShin Foundation) will moderate. From the event description:
“We will be opening up our audience to anyone in our community who is interested in changing the way mental health and addiction services are handled in Richmond. The audience will have the opportunity to share with the candidates what they are looking for in our next mayor on this topic. For one hour, audience members will be commenting and asking questions while mayoral candidates listen and prepare a response.”

The second hour will go to the candidates – each will have an equal amount of time to respond to what they heard. At the end of our forum, we are asking each audience member to make a campaign contribution to the candidate of their choice, based on who they believe will best improve existing recovery systems available in Richmond to treat substance use disorder and mental health disorders.”
Free (except for the requested candidate donation at the end). Light refreshments will be served. To RSVP as an audience member or to request a press pass, contact Taryn Kelly at tarynk@mcshin.org or 804-310-4831. See this link for the Facebook event page.
