You want your organization to thrive, but in today’s high-pressure world, even the most capable people are running on empty: juggling tight deadlines, constantly absorbing change, and bracing for the next disruption. And when we run on empty for too long, it’s not just our energy that suffers—it’s our mental health, too. Yet there’s a disconnect: We know mental health matters, but we don’t see ourselves in the solution.

Because here’s the hard truth: working side by side doesn’t make a community healing. And stigma doesn’t just silence those who are struggling—it sidelines the rest of us, too: their coworkers, managers, and friends. The result? Collaboration weakens, the mission suffers, and people leave.

In this provocative and compelling talk, Dr. Carylynn Kemp Larson offers a new way forward: we can create healing community at work, meeting people where they are and connecting them with the care they need, without crossing professional boundaries.

With warmth, humor, and real-world insight, Dr. Larson helps her audiences:

✔️ See mental health as a continuum—something we all experience,

✔️ Understand how well-being shapes connection, trust, and performance; and

✔️ Use a “Recipe for Healing Community”—a practical framework to move past stigma and fuel well-being at work.

These shifts change how we lead, connect, and grow together. If you’re ready to create the kind of community where people feel supported, connected, and able to thrive, this talk is for you.
