In March, David Lawrence Center along with our education partner Naples Children & Education Foundation were honored to host renowned psychologist, educator and author Kay Redfield Jamison, PhD, as the keynote speaker for our third annual Sound Minds Mental Health Symposium. More than 300 people turned out to hear her incredibly personal journey to brain health after suffering a psychotic break and being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The crowd was given an opportunity to submit questions to Dr. Jamison in an in-depth Q&A with board member L. Patt Schneider, PhD, and they had a chance to meet her during the book signing and reception. The event raised $20,000 thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and VIP guests who were treated to an intimate wine dinner and autographed book the evening prior to the symposium.
