Why You Should Attend MindFit
It’s not “all in your head.” Mental illness is a harsh everyday reality for millions of people. Many know someone affected, but few understand what their friends and neighbors are really experiencing. Or know how to help.
Join Alex Rodriguez on a journey to better understand the challenges so many face today. Along the way, you’ll meet men and women who have grappled with depression, anxiety, and other common mental conditions—and the skilled practitioners whose methods are helping them find encouraging breakthroughs.
Their stories will educate, inspire, and provide hope to those struggling as well as to those who love them.
