This is a season in which there continues to be great grief, fear, loneliness, and discouragement in the world. 

 

Many people were still dealing with the pandemic, when political upheaval took center stage. Violence and injustices of all kinds made headlines. And currently, all eyes are on the heartbreaking war in Ukraine. 

 

So many people around the world are heavy with anxiety and depression.

 

How can we help one another? How can we help ourselves?

 

Join us at this week’s Mango Publishing Author Panel to participate in a conversation about mental health and what practices we can use to support ourselves and the people we love.  

 

Our guest authors, Nita Sweeney (“Depression Hates a Moving Target”) and Eric Maisel (“Redesign Your Mind”) will share their own stories and mental health practices. Everyone who attends is invited to join the conversation. The panel is facilitated by Sherry Richert Belul (“Say it Now.”) 

 

Mango Author Panels are a great way to get a behind-the-scenes look at the publishing world and what goes on in authors' heads. They are always interactive, often intriguing, and especially warm and inspiring.
