• Mental health, especially depression

We seek dynamic, engaged, and knowledgeable speakers to share their knowledge and participate in question and answer sessions with our attendees.

Attendees will represent a wide spectrum of health practitioners from a range of health traditions from South and East Asia as well as Western medicine. The audience will also feature a diversity of prior experience and knowledge regarding traditional Asian medicine.
