40x40 Community Safe Keeping Meeting
A bi-monthly meeting where members of resident-led community groups discuss neighborhood safety within the 40×40 block area of East Oakland.
Every two months, outside groups join the PAC for a Safe Keeping meeting centered on broader discussions about neighborhood safety.
The People's Advisory Council (PAC) is an advisory council made up of Black community leaders and residents who live in (or have lived in) the 40×40 with a vested interest and knowledge of the issues impacting their community. The PAC meets with our collaborative every month to discuss the issues affecting them and their community, thereby directing our work.
The 40×40 initiative is a mission undertaken in 2019 by a collective of community-based organizations driven to address the systemic issues of racism and displacement that has stunted the potential vibrancy of a roughly 40×40 block area (from Seminary Ave to the Oakland-San Leandro border, and from MacArthur Blvd. to the Bay).

Latest People
Meena Saleh
I provide neuropsychological evaluations (testing) to adults with cognitive concerns, such as difficulty with memory, attention, multitasking, "slowing down," or changes in language or personality. I investigate neurological and/or psychiatric factors that may contribute to someone's condition. These evaluations allow for more precise diagnoses and prognoses (what to expect in the future). I provide services in English or Persian (Farsi), and I am well-experienced in working with professional translators for assessment in other languages (for example, Spanish or Cantonese).
Neuropsychological evaluations most often help guide the course of treatments. With the patient's consent, I provide documentation and consultation with their regular doctors - such as neurologists, primary care and mental health providers - to discuss potential medication changes, talk therapies, surgical options, self-care strategies, and more.
I find that most important is the patient's understanding of their health - both strengths and weaknesses. After the evaluation, I set time to meet with patients and sometimes their loved ones to provide the information they need to best manage their health. With a culturally appropriate approach, I invite diverse clients to contact me for more information.
