2022 KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Monday Keynote and Session Speaker: Melody Moezzi
Mental Health: From Illness to Wellness
Writer, activist, attorney, professor, and award-winning author, Melody Moezzi will share her deeply personal experiences of both struggling and thriving with a mental health condition (in her case, bipolar disorder, type I)—all as part of a concerted effort to combat the stigma and discrimination surrounding such conditions. Drawing on her unique perspective, she will discuss the importance of inclusion and intersectionality within and beyond our schools, and the roles of advocacy, self-care, and trauma-informed approaches in avoiding primary and secondary trauma, as well as compassion fatigue, for those of us in education and caretaking professions. Melody is the author of Haldol and Hyacinths: A Bipolar Life and War on Error: Real Stories of American Muslims, as well as her newest book, The Rumi Prescription: How an Ancient Mystic Poet Changed My Modern Manic Life. She has also appeared as a commentator on many radio and television programs, including NPR, CNN, BBC, PBS, and others.
