Earlier this month, the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation and Point32Health joined forces to host an event centered on mental health and wellness for youth at the Helen Y. Davis Leadership Academy in Dorchester. Neemias Queta attended the event, sharing his own experiences with mental health and getting to know several students on a deeper level.
The event focused on the role mental health plays in the lives of Black youth in the Boston area with students participating in a yoga session, and then a meditation activity. At the event’s conclusion, five students were selected to join Neemias Queta for further conversation as part of the official unveiling of a new ‘reflection room’ at the school.
