Mental health conditions are incredibly common. In any given year, nearly 20% of US adults have a mental health condition (and over 50% will manage a condition at some point in their lives). We are more likely to experience a mental health condition than cancer, heart disease, or diabetes.

 

Texas is a big state and meeting face to face isn't always possible with the miles that separate us. That's why we invite you to spend 30 minutes with Women of Asphalt Texas over lunch. We will meet monthly via Zoom to get acquainted and update you on the progress WofA Texas is making on education, community outreach, and fundraising initiatives.

All are welcome at the Women of Asphalt Texas Virtual Luncheon. Join WOFA Texas

What: Women of Asphalt Texas Ladies Luncheon
When: 2nd Wednesday of  the month, from 12:15 to 12:45 pm
