Deeply informative – a real conversation about compassion in the context of self and community. Thanks to all the speakers for daring to be vulnerable. Much gratitude for focus on implicit bias and health care inequities.

Thank you!

It seems ultimately that at the heart of every truly meaningful contribution to the upliftment of humanity is a very personal story. Dr Schuman has taken his own struggle with well-being and transformed it in a way that has supported more than just himself. I really appreciated the honesty and compassion of this conversation. Thank you !
