FMOPL Annual Meeting

” Spaces can foster physical and mental well-being”

In pursuit of community connectedness, a landscape was not just beautiful, it was essential. Parks and open space allowed beleaguered city dwellers to be restored so that they might devote themselves to the welfare of others. Parks contributed to mental and physical health, and by doing so, helped to develop the web of connections that make community possible. They were, said Olmsted, “the most valuable of all possible forms of public spaces.” Our panelists will share their perspective on how public spaces foster physical and mental well-being.

Panelists include:
Kate Farinholt, Executive Director NAMI Maryland, National Alliance on Mental Illness

Haylie Kim, Development Associate, Nature Sacred

Katie Long, Program Director and Hispanic Liaison for the Friends of Patterson Park

Moderator:
Valorie LaCour, Manager Strategic Initiatives, City of Baltimore Department of Transportation
