Panel #2: special event for young people and those who care about them:
For our generation, mental health issues have become an increasing challenge for us. Especially during this pandemic, many of us feel unmotivated, unproductive, and the pressures are consuming us. Today, we will share ways we are taking action, and offer you ideas you can use to take action in your life to make sure you stay mentally well. With these strategies, we’ll better understand emotions and create possible solutions to help us thrive through this time, and for many years to come.
Panelists include:
Sophie Riegel - a rising sophomore at Duke University and is a professional author and speaker. She is the author of "Don't Tell Me To Relax: One Teen's Journey to Survive Anxiety (And How You Can Too)," and "Overcoming Overthinking: 36 Ways to Tame Anxiety for Work, School, and Life".
