Real Talk: Storying Mental Health in the Community Seminar Alette Willis, PhD and Lily Asch After two storytelling workshops, participants perform their story to the community and participate in a moderated discussion with the audience that invites everyone to talk openly about mental health.

Lily Asch, founder of Real Talk, will share the story that started it all.
