Every year, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., the University of Pittsburgh holds an annual Social Justice Symposium. After careful consideration to current events and pressing community needs, the theme this year is "From Surviving to Thriving: Culturally Relevant Emotional Wellness." Speakers and workshops will focus on themes of inequity, resilience, and healing from an intersectional diversity lens.

The symposium will be held on Wednesday, January 18, from 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Please join us in conversations around topics surrounding systems of oppression, trauma, and isolation, but also around recovery, community connection, and mutual aid that can help sustain our own emotional wellness as well as those we work to support on a daily basis.
