Conversations Cafe: Intersectionality & Mental Health
Conversations Cafe: Intersectionality & Mental Health
The Conversations Cafe is a monthly event at Sip of Hope Coffee Bar featuring education and open forum dialogue on the intersections of Mental Health within our communities. This education event is brought to you by Hope For The Day with support from our partners in prevention, Banyan Treatment Center, Dark Matter Coffee, and Three Run Two.
Today's Conversations Cafe episode is titled Mental Health & Intersectionality. Recorded live at the UIC Forum, as part of Hope for the Day's Conversations Summit 2019 and hosted by Hope for the Day COO Carl Evans, this panel focused on addressing the nuances of stigma and mental health in an intersectional context for issues affecting people of color, individuals among LGBTQ+ populations and immigrants. These challenges are compounded further by historic elements within America, such as racism, non-secular and secular prejudices, cultural and language barriers.
Our panelists include:
Hannah & Charlie Lucas, creators of the NotOK App
Brandon Breaux, Chicago-based artist & designer
Elise Swopes, photographer, creative, and influencer
Nick Heineman, Project Manager at SocialWorks
Dr. Nneka Jones Tapia, currently of Chicago Beyond and more amazing credentials than we can name in our short intro!
Hope for the Day's inaugural Conversations Summit 2019 educated, inspired, and activated attendees with an exciting mix of breakout sessions created and led by diverse groups of youth, mental health professionals and academic partners, covering a vast spectrum of topics from mental health, arts, and technology, to social justice and activism. The summit was graciously hosted by The University of Illinois at Chicago at the Isadore & Sadie Dorin Forum (The Forum).
