Thanks for joining us on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Featured voices from our 2025 Lifting the Veil publication shared more of their stories with us on the ways mental health can show up in all stages of our lives. View our entire library of Lifting the Veil sessions on YouTube.
Panelists
Lars Peterson, a licensed therapist with Employee & Family Resources, will share a few science-backed tips to worry less and live more.
Maria La France will discuss how her son inspired the Des Moines Arts Festival to commission artist Jill Wells to design a calming space for people with sensory sensitivities. Dr. Jordan Bell from Des Moines University will explain why these spaces can help and how they’re catching on.
Maddie Moree, a licensed social worker, coaches women through the challenges of new motherhood. David Iles from Iles Funeral Homes helps families prepare to say goodbye to their loved ones. Both turning points, birth and death, come with emotional ups and downs.
By highlighting these stages and sharing how others have overcome them, our hope is to connect our communities with the resources and hope to move past hard times.
