HITS 97.3 Presents My Miami Story

Tuesday, October 23rd @ HITS 97.3 Penthouse Studio

For the 2nd year in a row, the New HITS 97.3 is joining forces with the Miami Foundation for a My Miami Story conversation at the HITS 97.3 Penthouse Studio, Tuesday night October 23rd from 7pm until 9pm! Hosted by Kimmy B!

This year’s topic of discussion will be Mental Health Awareness in Miami…addressing the issues that affect our Mental Health and Wellness daily, and talking about ways to help ourselves and ending the stigma in our community. It will be a relaxed gathering for us to share our personal stories.

Why Mental Health Awareness?  

  • There are so many factors that can impact our Mental Health and Wellness on a daily basis…Academic Pressures, Cyber Bullying, Financial Stress, Hostile Work Environments, Political Unrest, Family Issues, TRAFFIC!
  • The CDC reports that 1 in 5 Kids ages 3-17 have a diagnosable mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder each year.
  • Only 20% of these kids are ever diagnosed and receive treatment.
  • Some 50% of cases of mental illness begin by age 14, according to the American Psychiatric Association.
  • Millennials are the most "anxious" generation in human history.
  • 40 million adults or 18% of our population in the US suffer from anxiety on a yearly basis.
  • 322 million people worldwide live with depression.
  • Social and environmental stresses and triggers are at an all-time high.
  • While many high profile people including artists, athletes, and celebrities have started opening up and sharing their experiences and struggles with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, it is NOT enough.
  • We must, as a community, start having these conversations ourselves, in the open, and where everyone can take part so that those struggling with their Mental Health know that they are not alone and that there are resources available and people who want to help.
