Grit & Grace
Purpose & Goals
Women are twice as likely to be affected by certain mental health conditions and are often caregivers for loved ones struggling with a mental health condition. The conference hopes to reach 300 women through the event, helping them to feel less alone and more connected and empowered to seek help for themselves or for a loved one struggling with a mental health condition.
ASHA International’s goal is to present the conference annually to inspire hope and build solidarity among women impacted by mental health conditions, and to foster the understanding that they can recover and thrive.
