The mental health revolution: A two-part keynote to catalyze a global movement

Friday June 23, 13:50, Alternative Stage GNO

In this interactive session, Dr. Castro took the audience through the process of learning how to foster deeper conversations about mental health and encouraging personal reflection. Audience members were instructed to form groups and answer a variety of questions pertaining to the current state of their mental health and their hopes for the future. As audience members begin to form individual connections with one another, they are then incentivized to form larger groups to share their collective experiences. This activity launches what Dr. Castro calls the “Mental Health Revolution” by motivating individuals to see how mental health awareness and discussions drive deeper interpersonal human connection and action for change.
