Join us on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 for an evening of honesty, strength and hope. We’ve compiled an inspiring group of individuals who are courageous enough, vulnerable enough, and badass enough, to share their stories with you.
The impacts of COVID-19 on our mental health are deep seated and far reaching. It is our goal to paint a picture of these impacts by sharing perspectives from a diverse collection of Bostonians. In this 90-minute event, we’ll get a glimpse at the journey, struggles, and lessons learned by 10 individuals through the lens of their own mental health.
Our speakers:
Sharmila, an Inpatient Child and Adolescent Psychologist
Jessie, an Internal Medicine Resident
Molly, a Fitness Professional who is recently sober
James, a Police Officer
Brek, a Musician
Susie, recently unemployed due to COVID, and navigating anxiety
Ashley, an activist for racial justice in the fitness community and beyond, Founder of The Courage Campaign
Sean, a father, person with ADHD, depression and anxiety
Sylvia, a COVID survivor who returned to the U.S. from Spain at the peak of the pandemic
Melissa, a ‘COVID Bride’, married 8/15/20
Kirsten, a 5th Grade Teacher
The event will feature an incredible cast of speakers, all of whom are courageously sharing their experiences during this time as a police officer, a medical professional, a racial justice activist, a 2020 high school graduate, a psychologist, a teacher, and many more.
