Mental health shapes how we lead, love, work, parent, communicate, and show up in the world—yet too often, these conversations stay hidden.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, join local nonprofit Rock Recovery for Strength Not Stigma—an unforgettable evening of honest conversation, community, and impact.
Hear from influential leaders across nonprofit, clinical, executive, and government sectors as they share personal stories of resilience and how mental health has shaped both their lives and careers. Through vulnerability, wisdom, and real conversation, we’ll challenge stigma and explore what it means to build healthier, more compassionate communities.
Enjoy refreshments, meaningful networking, and a powerful moderated panel designed to leave you inspired and equipped to make a difference. Bring a friend, a colleague, or someone you care about, and be part of a conversation that matters, all while supporting a local nonprofit.
Can’t make it in person? Join the conversation virtually, as this is a hybrid event. Virtual tickets are free!
