Love Yourself: A Message of Hope and Help
Sonoma Academy
Sunday, October 13, 2019 at 3 PM – 5:30 PM
A Message of Hope and Help is a benefit concert that is a part of a larger effort to bring mental health awareness, suicide prevention and treatment programs to Sonoma County through a public/private partnership. We are working to establish an innovative and effective Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) treatment program in Sonoma County, through the Elizabeth Morgan Brown Memorial Fund and One Mind’s ASPIRe program. This CSC program will assist children and young adults (ages 8 to 30 years-old) experiencing the symptoms of early psychosis, helping to reduce and manage symptoms, so participants may succeed in education, careers, and relationships.

Keynote Speaker:
Darrell Steinberg is the Mayor of Sacramento and was the Senate President pro
Tempore in the California Legislature. He is one of Sacramento’s most
accomplished public servants, serving the Sacramento community for over 20
years. Steinberg represented California’s capital city in the California
Legislature from 1998 – 2014 and was the first Sacramentan to serve as
President of the Senate in over 125 years. Steinberg earned a reputation for
confronting seemingly intractable problems and delivering results for
California through consensus-building. Elected to the Senate in 2006, Steinberg
became President pro Tempore in late 2008, at the deep end of the economic
downturn when the state faced an unimaginable $42 billion deficit. Two years
later, he was honored with the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage award by the
Kennedy Library Foundation in recognition of his leadership in bipartisan
negotiations leading to the state’s fiscal recovery. Steinberg has been a
relentless advocate for mental healthcare, calling it “the under-attended issue
in our time and in our society.” steinberginstitute.org.
