Better Together: Breaking Down Barriers to Mental Wellness Event
Featuring speakers, activities, and Brandon Saho, presentation host of “The Mental Game.”
Hebron, KY, May 02, 2023 — On Saturday May 13 from 9am - 2:30pm, Lakeside Christian Church will host Better Together: Breaking Down Barriers to Mental Health. The event is co-hosted by Ethan’s Purpose and the Chelsea Ryann’s Festival of Hope and sponsored by WellCare of Kentucky.
“Parents are always asking me for advice for what to do when their child gets into a mental health crisis. I tell them that it’s the work they do when they are in a mentally good place that helps them when they are in a mental health crisis,” said Debbie Zegarra, Founder and President of the Ethan’s Purpose Foundation. “In other words, come to this event and learn the warning signs and strategies to help yourself and your child and hopefully you’ll know what to do when you encounter a mental health crisis.
Along with family-oriented interactive sessions and access to community partners the event will feature presentations including:
- "Talk Saves Lives" by Holly Dawson, KY American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
- "Emotional Regulation & Healthy Coping Strategies" with Amy Beausir and Lindsey Mayberry of Northern Kentucky Cooperative for Educational Services
- "Surviving Suicide" by Brandon Saho. Saho, a former sports reporter, is the host of “The Mental Game,” a mental health podcast featuring interviews with athletes, musicians, and entertainers.
Lakeside Christian Church is located at 1980 North Bend Rd., in Hebron, KY.
