Nonprofit Healthcare Startups Summit 2024, Guest Speaker (Global) "Is Mental Health Inclusive? Exploring Diversity and Hope Through Nonprofit Initiatives for Wellness" ​

Do you wrestle with feelings of being too independent—or, on the other end of the spectrum, overly dependent? You’re not alone. In today’s world, where independence (or hyper-independence) is often celebrated, many individuals, couples, and families struggle to find the ideal balance of healthy interdependence that fosters both safety and the freedom to grow and thrive. Join Dr. Carla Manly and licensed therapist Manami Yamamoto, LMFT, for a gentle, insightful conversation on the art of creating healthy interdependence in your relationships. Together, they explore how to stay connected while maintaining autonomy, how cultural expectations shape family ties, and how to build secure attachments while avoiding enmeshment or isolation. ⚠️ Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your local emergency services. In the U.S., 24/7 help is available by calling "911" or "988" (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline). Additional helpful links are provided in the show notes.
