Celebrity Ambassadors
We are honored to have had these high-profile individuals speak at HDRF events about their own challenges and experiences dealing with depression. They have all learned that depression is a treatable medical illness. It is their courage to speak publicly about depression that will help us reach our goal of erasing the negative stigma that surrounds it and building awareness of the need for innovative research.
