Overview

The event is a Women’s Mental Health Panel, which will take place on International Women’s day as part of Women’s History Month. We aim to create a safe and supportive platform for open dialogue about the unique mental health challenges that women face, how these may arise, the stigma associated with these challenges, and the strategies women can use.
