Details
Come to Akron Children’s Museum and learn about maternal depression and family mental health resources. Guest speaker IVY WATTS.
A former All-American student-athlete who appeared to have it all together, graduating Summa Cum Laude and a top 30 finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, on the inside struggled daily with anxiety, self-worth and depression. After finally seeking help, Ivy, who is Mental Health First Aid Certified, promotes mental wellness and reduces stigma around mental health by sharing her story through public speaking and her blog, Beautifully Simply You. Ivy empowers others to speak their truths, know that they are not alone, learn the beauty of self-love and find strength to keep fighting for their tomorrows.
Ivy has her undergrad in Psychology from University of New Haven, her Masters in Public Health from Boston University .
Ivy has empowered over 10,000 students and over 5,000 administrators/coaches, as well as parents and employees to practice mental wellness for themselves and for others. Together, we can change and save lives. Will you join the movement?
