When the pandemic hit in March 2020, we had no idea how long our lives would be in limbo. Fast forward more than a year-and-a-half later, and we are still dealing with pandemic-related stressors and disruptions that are affecting our physical and psychological well-being.
What we’ve learned the hard way is that we must keep moving forward, and that process is different for everyone. During NAMI Keystone PA's 2021 Pennsylvania Mental Health and Wellness Conference, Finding Our Path Forward, we will explore the ways the pandemic has forced us to re-evaluate ourselves, our routines, and our expectations in order to maintain wellness.
During the morning keynote, NAMI CEO Daniel H. Gillison, Jr., will interview Shanti Das, founder of Silence the Shame, Inc., a movement aimed at normalizing the conversation about mental health. Ms. Das has worked with famous music artists including Prince, Usher, and OutKast, but her experience with anxiety and depression caused her to step away from the spotlight and create her foundation, which is empowering and educating communities on mental health and wellness.Cancellations made prior to Wednesday, November 10 will be refunded.
