The Greek Community Affairs Board invites the UConn community to attend a lecture by TEDx Talk speaker David Woods Bartley. His talk will focus on his personal battle with mental illness, mental health awareness, and how students can advocate for themselves. Like most people, David Woods Bartley has seen his fair share of successes and setbacks; from directing a nationally recognized nonprofit to battling a life-threatening mental illness. But over the last seven years, David has successfully navigated from the isolation of mental “hellness” to the inclusive space of mental wellness. David is a member of several mental health advocacy organizations and has spoken across the country regarding mental health topics such as suicide awareness and prevention, the power of connection, and the use of language as a tool for healing.
