Caminar Speaker Series | Beyond Quick Fixes
Monday, November 16, 2026
This event is free and open to the public
This year, we aim to inspire the community to understand how we care for our inner lives, shaping everything else: our relationships, our communities, and our capacity to show up for one another. The event features a conversation between Celeste Birkhofer, PhD, PsyD, and Mark Cloutier, CEO of Caminar, exploring themes from Dr. Birkhofer's new book, Beyond Quick Fixes: Essential Ingredients for Better Mental Health and a Fulfilling Life, a USA Today and Publishers Weekly Bestseller.
Caminar will also honor Stacey K. Wagner, Director of Public Affairs for Kaiser Permanente in San Mateo County, with the Barbara Ellis Jones Community Service Award, which honors a distinguished individual or group whose leadership and service exemplify the values of compassion, advocacy, and community empowerment.
