DT | Real Life Resilience Panel
At Central Exchange, we empower women and cultivate leaders. We do this by providing our member with powerful programming from influential leaders and experts. One of our program focuses is promoting wellbeing — because in order to lead well, we need to be well.
Mental health conditions affect millions of Americans. Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S.—43.8 million, or 18.5%—experiences mental illness in a given year. This panel will address how to recognize signs of mental illness, seek help and resources.
Our goal at Central Exchange is to reach out to those affected by mental health, raise awareness and connect individuals with treatment services. It's also important to ensure that individuals, friends, and families have access to the resources they need to discuss mental health.
Join the conversation at Central Exchange. The truth is, we can all benefit from an honest and open discussion about mental health. And, one conversation can change a life.
