At NAMI Westside Los Angeles, we are dedicated to fostering conversations that break down the stigma surrounding mental health. That’s why we’re excited to welcome Dr. Blaise Aguirre, a renowned child and adolescent psychiatrist, to our Janis Black Warner Speaker Series for an insightful discussion on self-hatred and healing.

Dr. Aguirre will share key takeaways from his latest book, I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Hatred and Realize Why You’re Wrong About You, offering a deeper understanding of this complex emotion and how individuals can move toward self-acceptance. Self-hatred can be an isolating and deeply painful experience, but with the right tools and perspectives, healing is possible.

Join us for this important conversation and gain valuable insights into identifying and overcoming self-hatred. This is a free and open event—everyone is welcome. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of the leading voices in adolescent mental health.
