The Zia Larson Ray of Light Foundation hosts conversations and educational symposiums annually. We bring together professionals and community members to educate, create a safe space, and reduce stigma. Topics address current mental health challenges, panel discussions, solutions for removing stigma, and promote education, research, and community funding.
The Gathering of Light looks at factors like race, socio-economics, religion, and social constructs in today's world and offers solutions and resources to try to solve these problems.
