Meeting Description
In Honor of Women’s History Month, for our General Meeting on March 20, 2025, we will highlight several influential women who have lived experience with mental health challenges and dedicate themselves to reducing stigma and promoting mental wellness in their community. They have connected to their purpose by telling their wellness journey.
Women’s History Month is a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture and society and has been observed annually in the month of March in the United States since 1987. The 2025 theme, “Moving Forward Together,” celebrates “Women Educating and Inspiring Generations.” This theme celebrates the collective strength, equality, and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership, shaping the minds and futures of all generations.
