FEATURING: This years' Gala will feature New York Times bestselling author and legendary comedian Darrell Hammond, best known as the longest-tenured cast member on Saturday Night Live and for his much beloved and hilarious impressions of Bill Clinton, Sean Connery, Donald Trump and more.
He reveals a story that you won't soon forget. Hammond was abused as a child, and, by age 5, learned that doing voices made his perpetrator laugh, and even prevented abuse from occurring. His humility, honesty and wit show that you can recover and find hope.
ALSO FEATURING: Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, a professor of psychology (UC Berkeley) and Psychiatry (UC San Francisco), is an international presence in clinical psychology/mental health, with over 320 articles/chapters and 12 books, including The ADHD Explosion. Dr. Hinshaw, who is a member of AIM's Scientific Advisory Board, will share his powerful new memoir, "Another Kind of Madness: A Journey through the Stigma and Hope of Mental Illness."
