○ Speaker: Miche Lame: Family Emotional Dysfunction- By 7 years old, genes and
environmental factors solidify personality unless trauma happens but
family traits can be reversed by actively bringing awareness to and deciding against the
behavior. Mental health can be compared to chronic health diseases so the goal is to
destigmatize mental health issues and provide resources for helping to rework thoughts that
inhibit growth and healing.
