BORN THIS WAY FOUNDATION: BUILDING KINDER COMMUNITIES, SUPPORTING THE WELL-BEING OF STUDENTS AND IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

The Commonwealth Club and Born This Way Foundation Invite you to a conversation focused on the intersection of kindness and mental health during these unprecedented times. In this conversation, moderated by Maya Smith, you'll hear from mental health experts, advocates and young people on the many ways the COVID-19 pandemic has uprooted our normality, how we can find ways to spread kindness while also focusing on our mental health.
