“We want to create an interactive experience that is fun and uplifting as well as engaging,” said Sandra Huber, event co-chair and co-director of Mental Health Matters WA. This year’s Keynote will be delivered by Professor Michael Tuncap, a higher education and non-profit leader, who will address “(e)Racing Hate: Mindfulness, Music, and Mental Health,” exploring the links between mental health, identity, culture, and purpose.
The festival will also address the impact of social media. Dr. Lucia Magis-Weinberg, Assistant Professor of Psychology at UW Seattle, will present on the connection between mental health and social media, followed by a Q&A. Attendees can also view the documentary “LIKE,” which explores strategies for mindful social media use and fostering a healthier relationship with technology.
