Every day, women and non-binary people face the harsh consequences of mental health, including stigma, misperceptions, lack of options, and significant isolation. Due to this recognition, an educational support group was developed to help address these and other hardships. The take-away from this endeavor is that women and non-binary folks who have significant and persistent mental illnesses are truly a unique group that deserve to be recognized for their incredible strength.

Therefore, in recognition of International Women's Day, this "I Got This" event will honor and celebrate these women and non-binary people in our community. We will be hosting meaningful activities and workshops that will highlight the resilience these individuals demonstrate.

The "I Got This" event creates a safe, inclusive space where attendees will feel empowered, connected, and respected. The goal is to offer enhanced understanding, empathy, and compassion, creating spaces where women and non-binary folks feel safe, seen, and supported.
