Discover how comics can be a powerful tool for discussing mental health and the brain! This webinar explores creative ways to use storytelling, illustrations, and relatable characters to help kids (and adults!) understand complex emotions, reduce stigma, and encourage open conversations about mental well-being. Join author and cartoonist Cara Bean to learn how she made comics to connect with young people, foster empathy, and provide support in a way that feels engaging and accessible.
