FAHRA November Meeting - November 12, 2025 - In Person
Join us on October 8, 2025 for TBA presented by Dr. Andrea Mata, PhD.

Session Description:
We’re in a workplace mental health crisis. It’s your high performers. Your team leads. Your C-suite. In this no-fluff talk, clinical psychologist Dr. Andrea Mata breaks down how we got here, why it’s hitting organizations harder than ever, and what leaders need to understand if they want their people to stay engaged, focused, and actually well. Spoiler: you can’t fix burnout with beanbags and wellness apps. This talk goes back to the fundamentals of what makes people mentally strong, and shows you how to build a work culture that supports real performance and real people.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Andrea Mata, PhD, is on a mission to throat-punch the mental health crisis and equip people with the tools they need to take control of their lives. Statistically, she shouldn’t be where she is today—growing up as the daughter of a Mexican immigrant in a gang-infested neighborhood on the Southside of Chicago. But Dr. Mata transformed her challenging upbringing into a source of strength, inspiring resilience in families, businesses, and communities nationwide.
Her insights have been featured on CNN and in The Wall Street Journal, where she offers real-world strategies for navigating parenting, behavior, and mental health with clarity and confidence.
With advanced degrees from Valparaiso University and Kent State University, Dr. Mata founded BrightSpot Families and partnered with the Anxiety Treatment Center of Greater Toledo. Her direct, relatable approach offers actionable strategies for navigating mental health challenges and creating lasting change.
