The Mental Health Advocacy Project (MHAP) invites the Law School community to join us for a career panel discussion with Mark Heyerman (Of counsel at Monahan Law, General Counsel to Mental Health America, and former Head Clinician of the Mental Health Project Clinic at UChicago Law for over forty years), Matthew Davison (Attorney at the Illinois Guardianship & Advocacy Commission), and Patrick Yingling (Partner at Reed Smith, LLP). The discussion will focus on how students can become involved in mental health advocacy in their legal careers. 

This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.

This is a mask-optional convening. We strongly encourage unvaccinated individuals and those preferring to wear masks to do so.
