  delighted to present All for One and One for All: Public Seminar Series o
 n Mental Health in Academia and Society\n\n\nFirst talk will be given by D
 r. Roy Richard Grinker. \n\nMental health experts and advocates tell us 
 that "stigma" is the major barrier to mental health care throughout the wo
 rld. But where did stigma come from? And how can we begin to eradicate it?
  Dr. Grinker\, a cultural anthropologist\, specializing in psychological a
 nthropology will discuss his new book\, Nobody's Normal. Drawing on resear
 ch in sub-Saharan Africa\, the U.S.\, and South Korea\, as well as his own
  history as the son\, grandson\, and great-grandson of psychiatrists\, Dr.
  Grinker writes that we are on the cusp of ending the marginalization of p
 eople with mental illnesses and developmental disorders.\n\nAll for One an
 d One for All talks will shine the light on and discuss mental health issu
 es in academia across all levels – from students to faculty\, as well as
  in wider society. Seminars will be held online once per month on Wednesda
 ys at 5pm CEST/ 11am EST and free for all to attend. Speakers include acad
 emics\, organisations\, and health professionals who’s work focuses on m
 ental health. Live Q and A sessions will be held after each talk.
