Each month throughout the year, an amazing group of women (and men) comes together to network, share inspirational stories, grow professionally and personally and bring awareness to what is possible for women today.

The Virtual Reality Prescription – A New Frontier in Medicine
In this presentation we’ll review a key brain function that can lead to depression, rumination, and isolation. We’ll talk about fascinating new insights into how to tame this runaway brain function and how Virtual Reality (VR) might become a standard treatment in the future.
Dr. Connelly will explore with you the work Harmony Media – a female-founded startup – is doing in the VR mental health and wellness scene.
