HOW ARE YOU DOING? A CONVERSATION ON MENTAL/EMOTIONAL HEALTH IN 2020
–
How are you doing? No- how are you doing for real? 2020 has been a difficult year, but for many of us, the news doesn’t seem so new. Come join us on Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 a.m. PDT to participate in a conversation around mental and emotional health and wellbeing during times in which many of us don’t feel equipped with the tools we need. Katrina M. Sanford, PsyD, John Guy, M.A., LMHC, and Aviona Rodriguez Brown will convene and share their experiences on what’s going on and what we can do to take care of ourselves and each other.
Format
This conversation will take place between the speakers and will be streamed to YouTube (captioned live) and Facebook Live. Questions and comments in real-time are welcomed and will be moderated through the conversation. We hope to create a shared experience to an intimate conversation.
