Panel Discussion:  Mental Health
A special thank you to our panelists for their remarkable conversation about women's mental health: it was a refreshing time with each other, from the discussions to the interactive activities.

The event's main objective focused on mental wellness and self-care. The panel covered various topics, including the warning signs of anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and the common challenges that people face in maintaining their mental health. The attendees received strategies for addressing or preventing mental wellness concerns and mindfulness tips to incorporate into their daily routines. Tentatively save the date for March 8, 2025!
