2021 Mental Health Symposium
Shining the Light on Surviving and Thriving: We’re Not all in the Same Boat
VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM
Tuesday, October 19 and Wednesday, October 20, 2021
9 am – 5 pm CST
YWCA Greater Austin’s Mental Health Symposium will shine the light on the vast experiences of diverse populations navigating through the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic, economic crisis, racial reckonings, political conflicts, and the winter storm. Collective experiences of the last two years illuminated inequities and privileges in our society; while some struggled to survive, others thrived. Through this symposium, we will examine the implications for marginalized groups, the compounded impact on mental health, and the inequitable access to resources.
