This speaker event will be held virtually on Thursday, November 9.

Dr. Christopher Palmer, a leading Harvard psychiatrist, has written a book entitled, “Brain Energy,” which combines scientific research with advice, strategies, and new treatment pathways to help people improve their mental health.
