Please save this link for easy access when the webinar goes live. https://tinyurl.com/EightySixReasons Inspired by Kimberly Chapman’s exhibit, Eighty-Six Reasons for Asylum Admission: A Domestic Beginning, this community conversation brings together perspectives from art, psychiatry, and historical research to explore how cultural beliefs and institutional practices have shaped mental health care—and how those histories continue to influence us today. At Peg’s, we believe art can spark meaningful conversations that deepen understanding, challenge assumptions, and strengthen our communities. This exhibit serves as the catalyst for an open dialogue that invites participants to listen, reflect, and engage with diverse perspectives on mental health, history, and healing. Guests are encouraged to visit the exhibit at the Baldwin Buss Merino House before the program to experience Chapman’s powerful work firsthand. The gallery will offer special hours from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on the day of the event, providing an opportunity to reflect on the artwork before joining the conversation. Panelists Kimberly Chapman, MA, BFA, Jennifer Bazar, Ph.D., and Douglas Smith, M.D., DLFAPA will share perspectives that encourage thoughtful dialogue about women’s mental health, dignity, recovery, advocacy, research, and community care. The conversation will be moderated by Jonas Thom, MA, PCC, creating space to honor diverse viewpoints and prioritize listening as much as speaking. Grounded in history while connected to today’s mental health challenges, this event invites attendees to be part of the conversation. Together, we’ll explore the intersections of mental health, gender, storytelling, and social change, while considering how listening to one another and learning from the past can inspire greater understanding, compassion, and continued dialogue within our community. - Free and open to the public - Attend in person or online - Live webinar streaming (Eastern Time) - Exhibit open at the Baldwin Buss Merino House from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm - Free parking available on city streets and public lots throughout downtown Hudson, Ohio - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/hudson/looking-back-thinking-forward-women-and-mental-health/200030436162054 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, mental-health, workshops, art, virtual, webinar, contests, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 18 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Hudson - **state**: OH - **country**: United States - **location**: 53 First Street, Hudson, OH, United States, Ohio 44236 - **lat**: 41.24052 - **long**: -81.44188 - **full address**: 53 First Street, Hudson, OH, United States, Ohio 44236 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Looking Back, Thinking Forward: Women and Mental Health - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/5e4ebc726c9b765db27558ea26f1ba34229f5d8e379b7b5e1f5958c5b99242ff-rimg-w1200-h628-dcf8f8f8-gmir?v=1786748800 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Looking Back, Thinking Forward: Women and Mental Health being held? - **A:** Looking Back, Thinking Forward: Women and Mental Health takes place on Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm at 53 First Street, Hudson, OH, United States, Ohio 44236. - **Q**: Who is organizing Looking Back, Thinking Forward: Women and Mental Health? - **A:** Looking Back, Thinking Forward: Women and Mental Health is organized by Peg's Gallery. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
