From concert to care, Strictly R&B Park Jam connects people to mental health support
Trecsie Flanigan didn’t go to a concert last summer looking for help with her mental health — she went for the music. But what she found was a lifeline. Balancing a line‑cook job and the three youngest of her six children, she showed up at Strictly R&B Park Jam last year hoping for a rare night of relief and relaxation.
