This Mental Health Awareness Month, we invite you to an insightful and interactive program hosted by the Summit Area YMCA. The event will be held at the Summit YMCA Teen Center on May 6 from 11 AM to 12 PM.
We’re thrilled to welcome Gina N. Fico, a passionate mental health advocate, as our featured speaker. Gina has dedicated her life to spreading awareness and acceptance of mental illness, neurodiversity, and addiction. Having personally battled anxiety from a young age, Gina is committed to helping others feel less alone and more understood. In 2024, she founded i-Empower Solutions, an initiative designed to elevate her advocacy work and further reduce the stigma surrounding mental health struggles.
During this special program, Gina will lead a discussion on how anxiety can manifest in different ways. Many of us have a fixed idea of what anxiety looks like, but this event will help you understand how it can show up in unique forms for different people. By the end of the session, you’ll feel empowered to better support those dealing with anxiety in your community.
Whether you’re looking to expand your knowledge, provide support to a loved one, or simply learn more about mental health, this event is for you. We hope you’ll join us for this important conversation!
