Mental Health Speaker Series

In March of 2004, the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health initiated the Mental Health Speaker Series. Periodically, this Series gathers Hogg Foundation staff and other interested people in the community to hear a guest speaker address a topic of current relevance to the broad field of mental health.

All of the Mental Health Speaker Series talks are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Maria at 512-471-5041 or send an email message to add your name to the e-mail list announcing future speakers.
