Pam Schuller: Building Resilience in Young People
A Morning of Learning for Youth Professionals
As a teen, Pamela had the worst-diagnosed case of Tourettes in the country, a touch of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and a whole lot of pent-up anger. She spent years depressed, suicidal, and wishing her differences away. Over time, she started looking at her life differently and turned her obstacles and challenges into the very fuel that propels her. Now an internationally known disability and mental health advocate and professional stand-up comedian, Pamela’s stories of growing up in a body she had no control over are engaging, powerful, a little bit heart-wrenching, and unapologetically funny.
Come meet Pam in person, hear her story and discover the impact we can have on others by making small changes in the way we do things. Pam will start the day off with a comedic performance, followed by Q & A, and an improv workshop you won't want to miss.
