NAMI Ask the Expert Webinar welcomes Diana Chao, founder of the largest global youth-for-youth mental health nonprofit, Letters to Strangers (L2S) who will share her personal story as a first-generation Chinese-American immigrant navigating a bipolar disorder diagnosis and healing through writing letters. This presentation — which features spoken word, conceptual art and letters written by young people around the world — addresses the complexities of mental health in underrepresented communities and speaks to the power that even the smallest acts of kindness can have.

Diana will also share actionable strategies for maintaining mental wellbeing gathered from eight years of interviews and frontline interventions.

After the presentation, NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ken Duckworth will moderate a Q&A session.
