Speaker shares his experience with psychosis and journey to advocacy

Brandon Staglin, co-founder and chief advocacy and engagement officer for One Mind, gave attendees of the annual Drs. Fred and Penny Frese Lecture insight into his early experiences with psychosis. He then took the audience on a journey through his recovery, and finally his work in advocacy and innovation at One Mind during his May 6 address.

One Mind is an innovative and transformative mental health organization working to address critical gaps in mental health research, care, workplace wellness and public perception. Staglin discussed their three major programs, which include helping mental health scientists make vital discoveries and grow their leadership; helping mental health startup founders scale their success and impact for communities and society; and helping business leaders drive change to improve workforce mental health and organizational performance.
