“What if imagination and art are not frosting at all, but the fountainhead of human experience?”

Retro - Speaker Highlight

Adrianne Wright LMHC presented a powerful session on "Remaining Culturally Conscious in an “Unconscious” World"

Adrianne’s passion and commitment to mental health education is evidenced in her mental health vlog, “The Latrice Release”, monthly articles in her neighborhood association newsletter, and facilitating community-wide “table talks” that provide a safe place to express issues, receive free psychoeducation and obtain coping skills for common mental health concerns. Using diversity as her back-drop, Adrianne is dedicated to using her over ten years of experience-coupled with her knowledge of Adlerian principles to focus on treating the entire individual.
