Whether through front line protests, social media, education, or the workplace, the current fight for social justice is powerful and never ending. It can also be draining, exhausting, and uncertain. Regardless of your role in the fight, it is important to maintain your mental health to continue the fight.

In this event, a panel of UofL alumni mental health practitioners will share their insight and tips for maintaining your mental health while fighting for social justice. This will be a Q&A discussion, so submit your questions through the registration form, or bring them to the event.

We are excited to welcome the following alumni to this event as our panelists:
-Dericka Canada Cunningham, PhD
-DeShara C. Doub, MSSW, Marriage & Family Therapy Associate
-Steven D. Kniffley Jr., PsyD, MPA, ABPP
-Ashleigh Hazley, MEd will serve as our moderator
