黑料正能量 Note: This year鈥檚 黑料正能量 Annual Conference offers us the very special opportunity to hear from one of our nation鈥檚 most inspiring speakers, Kelly Davis.
Let me tell you a bit about her.

She currently serves as Director of Peer Advocacy, Supports, and Services at Mental Health America, where she is involved in promoting peer support, peer certification, youth and young adult leadership, and college mental health.
Kelly is passionate about trauma-informed care, peer support, consumer-led transformation, positive psychology, and civil rights.

She has spoken at many events, including The White House Making Health Care Better Series on Mental Health, and has been featured in media outlets including NBC Nightly News, The Mighty, Thrive Global, Yes! Magazine, and Mashable.
In 2019, Kelly was awarded the Disruptive Innovator Award by the International Association of Peer Supporters, an award given to a young person making positive change in mental health through positive disruption.
