The Word On The Street

Join me at this year’s Word On The Street festival for a panel discussion, Hard Feelings: Processing Trauma through Writing on Thursday, September 23, 2021 from 5-6 pm ET. This year, Toronto’s festival of storytelling, ideas, and imagination is once again virtual; as always, the events are free.

I’ll be moderating a conversation between three fantastic writers, Hollay Ghadery, Brent LaPorte, and Jacob Scheier:

For all that contemporary culture seems to have embraced the language of mental health, there are certain subjects that remain difficult to talk about. What subsets of mental health and mental illness are being overlooked in today’s conversations, and how can we bring them into focus? How should our understanding of mental health be evolving and transforming? How do we apply that new understanding to systems that support the mental health of our communities?
