GOOD DEEDS: Margaret Bruno - March 6 Mental Health Event @Floridarama

In this episode of Good Deeds, host Nanette Wiser interviews Margaret Bruno about 5th Annual Reeling in Stigma Event,  Thursday, March 6 · 6 - 10pm at FloridaRAMA (2606 Fairfield Avenue South St. Petersburg, FL 33712).  The event is offered free of charge, as part of Community Foundation Tampa Bay's commitment to mental health. Limited tickets available. Please register. The 5th Annual Reeling in Stigma, hosted by Love IV Lawrence, a fund at Community Foundation Tampa Bay, is a night celebrating the mental health of the mental health professionals who care for us. This matters because these conversations are not happening. In the past two years, seven leaders at behavioral health organizations in the Tampa Bay area have died by suicide. This alarming trend demands action. Join us as we bring together community leaders for a vital discussion on how we can better support those who dedicate their lives to helping others. Together, we can take action and be part of the solution. Learn more about this issue and solutions from the panel:
