A Mental Health Morning
After escaping a decade of abuse living as a child bride in Canada, best-selling author, DEI expert and psychiatrist, Dr. Samra Zafar, has become a beacon of hope for those facing exclusion and interpersonal violence.
At this year's A Mental Health Morning Breakfast, Samra will speak on Mental Health Through the Lens of Intersectionality. Through a mix of personal experience and powerful storytelling, Samra will touch upon the themes of healing with trauma; the importance of self-compassion; the power of authenticity, acceptance and belonging; and the collective effort it requires to build and support resilience.
