Description:

A Special Series on Mental Health, Creativity and Social Justice

Hosts: Chantal James and Renee Richmond

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Anita Gadhia-Smith

Dr. Gadhia-Smith is the author of How to Heal Emotional Trauma: 7 Keys to Finding Freedom and Self-Worth. 

This book takes you through seven stages of emotional healing: coming out of denial, identifying current feelings, identifying behavior patterns, recognizing beliefs, stopping self-sabotage, letting go of the victim mentality, and utilizing practical tools to develop and increase your self-worth. By reclaiming your true self, you will live and love your life to the fullest. Take the journey from surviving to thriving!

This event is a fundraiser for NamiDC co-sponsored by Busboys and Poets. The mission of the NAMI DC Chapter is to support, advocate, and educate family, friends, the public, and persons with mental health issues about resources available to support all impacted by mental illness.
