For their final episode, the Social Impact Lab will be joined by internationally renowned comedian, mental health expert, best-selling author and Chancellor of the University of Southampton Ruby Wax OBE to talk about the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and how we need to change the conversation post-pandemic.
Highly successful comedian, presenter, author and prominent mental health speaker, Ruby Wax combines neuroscience, mindfulness and comedy in her tours and books, helping the world to find calm in this hectic 21st century. She holds a Master’s degree in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy from Oxford University, is a highly-acclaimed TED talker and was awarded an OBE for her services to mental health. The best-selling author is also the founder of Frazzled Café, a ‘talk-in’ place where people who are feeling frazzled can meet on a regular basis and share their personal stories in a safe, anonymous and non-judgmental environment, currently being rolled out in M&S cafes. Ruby Wax is breaking down mental health taboos and making neuroscience accessible and interesting.
Make sure to join them on Wednesday 29 July at 16:00 on Facebook Live as they try to make sense of and shape the new normal and re-imagine the world anew.
