  • Fractured Foundations: A History of Mental Health in America Presented by Libbey Pelaia-Krumhansl

    Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at 7:00 pm

    Main Library Auditorium

    From asylums and outdated diagnoses to today’s growing conversations around healing and care, Fractured Foundations looks at how mental health has been understood and treated throughout American history. We’ll explore the cultural beliefs, systems and policies that have shaped the mental health landscape and talk about where we go from here – toward a future that’s more compassionate, informed, and human-centered. Libbey Pelaia-Krumhansl is a public health innovator, wellness coach, author, founder of Our Wellness Lives (O.W.L.). and co-host of the award-winning podcast OnePath: Safer Opioid Prescribing.
