Plenary Speaker: Jordan Corcoran, Founder, Listen, Lucy
Meet Jordan Corcoran, founder of Listen, Lucy. Jordan lives with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder. She has learned to cope with the symptoms of both through the help of writing and counseling. But Jordan didn’t just stop there. She wanted to help others who were also struggling with coping. That answer came in the form of Listen, Lucy, a safe and comfortable online community where others can share their story, anonymous and free of judgment. Jordan will share her personal journey and what lead her to create Listen, Lucy. Jordan will also motivate and inspire those in attendance to learn to love themselves and “pay-it-forward” through the power of #TheAcceptanceMovement.
