Raising Awareness in Beirut…

Tonight in Beirut, I will be joining with students and recent alumni to support them as they make history as the first young people in Lebanon to come together as a group to tell their stories of living with mental illness for an audience. I was inspired to put together this event (and this mental health awareness group) from an unexpected source–which I will be discussing soon. I’ve been very moved by the courage of these young mental health revolutionaries–who are daring to say no to stigma and shame to help open minds and save lives. Please come and support them as they make history and share their struggles and triumphs with honesty, humor, and strength. To contact WA3I, our new awareness group, please email wa3ilebanon@gmail.com.
