Changing the Conversation About Mental Health
Every year during the month of May, Loudoun County Public Library participates in Mental Health Awareness Month by offering a variety of programs to provide information, inspiration and to encourage open dialogue.
Changing the Conversation About Mental Health presented by Jordan Burnham of Active Minds. As a high school senior, Burnham had everything to live for, but he secretly battled depression and attempted to take his own life. His survival propelled him to begin to deal with his depression and learn healthier coping mechanisms. Burnham has appeared on CNN, Dr. Phil and addressed a congressional briefing on Capitol Hill. Recommended for teens and young adults. Sponsored by the A.V. Symington Gift Fund.
