Hailey is currently the Executive Director of Unsinkable, a national mental health charity founded by Olympian Silken Laumann that harnesses the power of storytelling to bridge the gap between those struggling with their mental health and steps towards mental wellbeing.
Together, we will explore the critical role of community as a key supporting condition in our mental health toolkit. We'll also be exploring how to recognize and tap into the gifts of people who might otherwise be defined by their mental health challenges.
