The lecture series, offered via ZOOM on May 27th from 7pm-9pm with guest speaker, Carmen Cusido, focuses on mental health awareness, providing essential tools to manage stress, enhance resilience, and achieve balance in a fast-paced life.
As an advocate with a personal history of high-functioning depression, Cusido will share her journey, illustrating the challenges faced by those in high-achieving communities. This insightful discussion will center on the cultural nuances contributing to the stigma surrounding mental health within these environments, particularly for individuals of color. By sharing their experience of maintaining a successful exterior while internally struggling, the lecturer aims to foster an open dialogue about the silent battle with depression and the importance of addressing mental well-being.
Key topics include recognizing the indicators of high-functioning depression, breaking the stigma, personal recovery, and establishing supportive networks. The session will also cover the importance of accessing culturally competent care and mental health resources tailored to quality, busy professionals.
Through this lecture, participants will gain a deeper understanding of mental health challenges, learn strategies for creating safe spaces, and acquire tools to support themselves and others effectively. The ultimate goal is to empower individuals to prioritize their well-being and foster a culture that acknowledges and supports mental health needs in high-pressure settings.
