Born This Way Foundation Mental Health Month Conversation Series

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to host conversations about mental health across communities. What was so powerful about our convenings is that they didn’t serve as an educational tool, but rather as an opportunity for our amazing panelists, team members, and participants at home to be together in community. We shared wisdom, insights, and inside jokes as we explored what it meant to support our communities and ourselves.
