SUMMARY:YOU ARE NOT ALONE FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS: THE NAMI GUIDE TO NAVIGATING YOUR CHILD'S MENTAL HEALTH
DESCRIPTION:A growing number of children and teens in the U.S. are struggling with mental health conditions\, but parents\, teachers\, and other caregivers are often at a loss when concerns arise for their own child. Are your preschooler’s constant tantrums typical for their age\, or an indication of a developmental difficulty? Is puberty or depression to blame for your pre-teen’s challenging behavior? Is my child in the wrong school\, or being influenced by the wrong friends? Am I a bad parent or teacher\, or am I overreacting? What exactly should I do? \nIn You Are Not Alone for Parents and Caregivers: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Your Child’s Mental Health\, child psychiatrist and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) associate medical director Christine M. Crawford\, MD\, MPH provides a comprehensive\, compassionate\, and practical resource for anyone concerned about a child’s mental health. Drawing on her own clinical experience and guidance from leading experts\, Dr. Crawford provides a lens through which to understand the many complex factors affecting children’s mental health. Analyzing young people from preschool to high school\, she shares insights into how mental health conditions may manifest at different ages\, what kind of interventions may be necessary\, and what to do to help kids thrive. Throughout\, the book channels the collective wisdom of the NAMI community. Parents\, caregivers\, and young people themselves share personal stories about their paths to recovery\, ensuring readers know that they are not alone. \nDr. Crawford will be in conversation with Tramaine Presley\, Psy.D.\, LCPC\, LMHC\, the director of Child\, Adolescent\, and Family Services at The Family Institute at Northwestern University. Dr. Presley has worked with children\, adults\, and families across a variety of clinical settings: private practice\, community mental health\, residential\, schools\, college campus\, and hospitals. \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of You Are Not Alone for Parents and Caregivers from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Drs.

SUMMARY:ABOVE THE NOISE: MY STORY OF CHASING CALM
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS A NEW DATE AND YOU MUST RE-REGISTER! \nDeMar DeRozan\, six-time NBA All-Star\, has been called a “basketball savant” (ESPN) and “the best closer in the NBA” (GQ)—but when he went public with his depression\, it sparked a conversation that reached far beyond the court. By breaking the stigma of speaking out\, he added a new\, seldom-heard voice to the mental health dialogue: a successful Black male athlete\, openly naming his pain and advocating for others to do the same. \nNow it’s time to tell the full story. Born and raised in Compton\, DeRozan was no stranger to hardship—living in poverty\, losing friends to gang violence. In worn-out school gyms and community centers\, fueled by hunger and a desire to prove himself\, he started to rise\, but doubts followed. In Above the Noise: My Story of Chasing Calm\, DeRozan opens up about his proudest triumphs and the times he felt so weighed down he couldn’t get out of bed. He reflects on what it took to make a name for himself in a new country after getting drafted by the Toronto Raptors\, the pressure of playing with veteran athletes as a twenty-year-old rookie\, and the pain of losing role models. \nFrom a scared\, angry kid to a confident father of five\, DeRozan traces his journey to basketball stardom and the forces that honed him into the player—and the slowly healing person—he is today. It will encourage anyone who has ever felt alone in their struggles and inspire people to rise above the noise and speak their truth. \nDeRozan will be in conversation with a New York Times bestselling poet\, essayist\, cultural critic\, and 2021 MacArthur Fellow Hanif Abdurraqib (FAN ’21\, ’24). FAN hosted Abdurraqib in 2021 in support of his award-winning book A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance\, and also for his most recent book\, 2024’s There’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Above the Noise to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \n“As men\, and especially Black men\, we don’t talk about our mental health enough. We struggle to admit when things aren’t okay\, even when it’s obvious to everybody around us. I’ve seen how toxic that can become. I’ve experienced it myself\, keeping everything under wraps until your head and heart are full of fire and rage.” – DeMar DeRozan \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
