Mental Health

One out of five Americans will suffer from a mental health condition during their lifetime. Most of these will go untreated due to lack of access to services, lack of insurance, or shame. Sharing their personal stories and expertise, these mental health speakers are working to end the stigma associated with mental health and addiction. Through compassion and insight, they are raising awareness of self injury, suicide, and body image issues. Their mission is to provide the language and skills needed to ask for help with depression, anxiety, and other health challenges.
