Name Your Story: How to Talk Openly about Mental Health

Ever had a panic attack? Felt too stressed or sad to get through the day? You’re not alone. Yet too often, we stay silent.

Join Dr. Lauren Cook, therapist, author, and social justice advocate, for an honest conversation about mental health. This event creates a safe, inclusive space to break stigma and take empowered steps toward wellness.

Dr. Cook’s talk is divided into three parts:

• Name It – Recognize signs and symptoms of common mental health challenges.
• Face It – Break the silence and stigma around mental health.
• Embrace It – Explore daily self-care practices and learn how to connect with support.

Whether you’re struggling personally or want to support others, this event will give you tools, language, and community to move forward with strength.
