Murthy urged everyone in attendance to build a better community foundation and address mental health.
"The actions we take in our lives to build stronger relationships with others through our time, through our attention, through our service to others, that is the glue that builds relationships," he said.
Murthy added that the social fabric is the most important safety net we have, especially when we may not have access to other resources.
