This session will feature deep reflections from our panelists on the unique capacity of storytelling to humanize mental health care, offer strength-based support, and create safer spaces for vulnerability and growth.
Additionally, we’ll have an open discussion with our panelists about the future of storytelling in mental health care and practical steps individuals and organizations can take to start integrating storytelling into their own practices.

About the Webinar
As we bid farewell to 2024 and prepare to embrace a fresh start in 2025, it's the perfect time to reflect on the year gone by. However, let's be honest—those nagging "shoulds" can easily make us question where we are, what we've accomplished, and where we’re heading. This year, we’re leaving the "shoulds" behind and celebrating the beauty of our unique journeys.
We’re thrilled to invite you to join us for Unsinkable Voices: No Shoulding on Yourself, an empowering and heartfelt webinar hosted by Unsinkable Program Managers Asante Haughton and Afreina Noor, and moderated by Maria Estrada. This inspiring conversation will feature Unsinkable Champions and Youth Facilitators Mikaela Brewer, Megan Swan, Vanessa Busetto, and Felix Oresajo.
They’ll share their powerful stories, insights, and strategies for breaking free from limiting expectations and embracing their authentic selves. Together, we'll explore themes such as:
Embracing Change
Recognizing Your Wins
Embracing New Beginnings
This discussion is designed to inspire reflection, self-compassion, and empowerment as we close out 2024 and step into the new year with purpose and confidence. Don't miss this chance to connect with our vibrant community and start 2025 on a positive note, with gratitude, reflection, and connection.
We can’t wait to see you there!
