ROOTED IN RESILIENCE: A SYMPOSIUM ON MENTAL HEALTH AND HEALING [IN-PERSON]

Join us for Rooted in Resilience: A Symposium on Mental Health and Healing to a Strong Foundation. This event is focused on exploring how individuals and communities develop the inner strength to overcome adversity—grounded in the belief that resilience is not just a response, but a cultivated mindset forged through challenge and healing. The symposium uplifts diverse perspectives and fosters deep dialogue around what it truly means to be rooted in resilience—to grow, recover, and lead with strength from within.

Audience

Community members, students (13+), parents, young adults, educators, mental health providers, advocates, and leaders.
