The Mayor’s Mental Wellness Series kicked off on July 15 with guest speaker Dr. Edith Eger, the world-renowned trauma expert, international best-selling author and Holocaust survivor. Joining her on stage was her daughter, Dr. Marianne Engle, a respected and accomplished licensed clinical psychologist and sports psychologist, as well as Beverly Hills Mayor Lili Bosse, the visionary behind the Mental Wellness Series. The large and enthusiastic crowd, many of whom had traveled hundreds of miles to experience the wisdom of Dr. Eger, gathered on the front steps of Beverly Hills City Hall.
In her introduction, Mayor Bosse shared that with the challenges of the pandemic, the political divide and the recent antisemitic flyers disbursed in the city, “I felt a sense of darkness and I needed to feel light We are lucky and fortunate, during the challenging times that we are still in, to have the wisdom of both Dr. Edith Eger and Dr. Marianne Engle.”
