At the Human Rights Foundation, we believe that supporting mental health and emotional resilience is essential to sustaining movements for freedom. Hearing first-person accounts of tyranny and persecution on the OFF stage can be overwhelming for both the dissidents describing their experiences and the allies who support them. Our Resilience Lounge is a dedicated space for those seeking a quiet moment during the Forum, featuring mindfulness activities, opportunities for creative stress relief, and drop-in office hours with experts in the field of mental health who are kindly donating their time to our community.
