04/24: “The Right to Feel” Mental Health Panel

Do you struggle in supporting your mental health in STEM spaces? Are you looking for a safe space to express and process your feelings as a woman or non-binary person of color in STEM? Need some support from someone who understands what you’re going through in these STEM streets? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should sign up for our webinar on mental health on Wednesday, April 24th from 7pm - 8:30pm EST. The topic is The Right to Feel which explores the ways in which women and non-binary people of color reclaim their right to feel their feelings or express their emotions in STEM environments that often conflict with the full expression of their identities and values. We have recruited an incredible roster of panelists (check them out below!) working in academia and other spaces. In addition to listening to panelists describe their own journeys navigating their mental health in STEM spaces, you will also have the opportunity to ask the panelists questions! If you’d like to sign up, simply RSVP below.
