Join us at the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Depression Center’s Annual Luncheon with our guest speaker Gracie Gold!
Gracie Gold is a two-time U.S. National Champion and Olympic bronze medalist. She is known for her remarkable achievements in figure skating and has become a powerful advocate for mental health. Gracie openly shares her struggles with anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder to help reduce stigma. Her inspiring comeback and best-selling memoir have solidified her status as both a sports icon and a voice for resilience and recovery.
