What if the thing you’ve survived could become the thing that helps someone else keep going? In this powerful invitation, keynote speaker Johnny Crowder—suicide and abuse survivor, touring musician, certified Peer Recovery Specialist, and founder of Cope Notes—shares why you need to be in the room for Step Into the Light: A Mental Health Summit. Living with multiple mental health diagnoses, Johnny brings raw honesty, lived experience, and practical insight that goes beyond surface-level inspiration. This isn’t theory—it’s real life, real struggle, and real tools that actually help. Join us for a transformative day of connection, education, and hope—where stigma gets challenged, stories get shared, and healing gets real. Step into an experience that could change a life - maybe even your own. This year’s Mental Health Summit centers on the shared human experiences that shape our emotional wellbeing: grief, trauma, family challenges, and the everyday stressors that impact our mental health.
