It is estimated that 1 in 5 Americans is struggling with their mental health, including over 2.7 million youth.

Did you know that according to research from Harvard University, an estimated 80% of all mental health challenges can be self-managed outside of the clinical care setting? Managing our own mental health- and helping our children to manage theirs- starts with understanding 5 key influences on our mental health.

In honor of October as Depression and Mental Health Awareness Month, please join us for a deep dive discussion on the 5 influences on our mental health and the tools we have to self-manage, moderated by our very own Daily Drip Thought Leader, Dr. Julie Radlauer-Doerfler, LMHC, whose research on the 5 influences led to her 2023 Ted Talk.

This panel discussion will take place in the Victory Black Box Theatre of the new L.A. Lee YMCA/ Mizell Community Center. Following the panel discussion, please join us on the rooftop to enjoy open mingling, light bites and refreshments by our Catering Partner, Red Chair Catering, and a gorgeous view of downtown Ft. Lauderdale!

This event is presented by The Daily Drip and the YMCA of South Florida's Women Know Y- a community of women who champion the YMCA of South Florida’s initiatives through active volunteerism, rewarding events, and enriching friendships.
