• "From mental illness to mental health": Thomas Insel, MD, neuroscientist and psychiatrist, says the worsening mental health crisis can be solved by focusing on social supports, proven treatments, and rebuilding mental health care systems.

Speaker Q&As:

• Author Imani Perry, JD, PhD, explores the American South’s complex legacy of racism and resistance.

First (ever) Virtual Communities Book Club

All of us who have attended Learn, Serve, Lead, know how energizing and inspiring the meeting is for attendees.

To leverage and extend that energy, we’re hosting an LSL tie-in Book Club – to bring together both attendees and those unable to attend.

We’ve selected The Power of Us (Bavel and Packer) from the proposed meeting reading list. Those in Nashville who attend the November 12^th at 1:30 session The Power of Us: Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation & Promote Social Harmony can bring added insight to the book discussion.

This discussion of identity – what it is, how it is shaped and reshaped, how it can be a positive (or negative) force – couldn’t be more timely. Read the summary (and/or chapter highlights) to whet your appetite, then plan to join the Book Club discussions!

We know your schedules are full, so we’ve varied the days and times. You don’t have to attend all! 

• Friday, November 18 1PM EST (12 PM CST, 10 AM PST)
• Monday, November 21 4 PM EST (3 CST, 1 PST)
• Wednesday, November 30 2 PM EST (1 PM CST, 11 AM PST)

Please note that you do not need to attend LSL, all three sessions, or have read the book, to participate. Join @Nancy Hayes, one of our virtual community volunteer champions, who is hosting this series. Use this time to meet others in the virtual communities and who may have highlights to share from the book and author.

Take a look at some of the videos available to further the discussion.
