Chandler residents can mark their calendars for a mental health boost. The Breakthrough Mental Health Conference, billed as the culmination of Chandler's Building Better Mental Health series, is set to take place on May 4 at the ASU Chandler Innovation Center.
The event, a collaborative effort between the city's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Division and Let’s Talk Counseling Services, aims to arm locals with essential mental health tools, information, and resources. Starting at 9 a.m. and wrapping up at 1 p.m., the conference will feature an array of sessions designed to openly discuss and address mental health issues. And the best part? It's completely free of charge – although participants should hurry to register online as spaces are expected to quickly fill up.
Experts will lead the charge with 45-minute breakout sessions throughout the morning. These will kick off on the hour every hour, covering a slew of topics that include therapy practices, wellness strategies, and advocacy efforts. Sam Eaton, notable for surviving suicide and founding Recklessly Alive, will be a keynote speaker in three sessions, sure to bring his unique experience and insights to attendees.
Chandler is pushing to openly bring mental health into the community conversation, and this event serves as a highlight of that commitment. The conference is not only set to offer a venue for connecting with professionals, but also a chance to network with peers who share a common interest in fostering mental wellness.
