“The Aces Foundation feels that the Mental Health Summit is important because caring for your mental health is not just about understanding your emotions, but also about developing the wisdom to navigate them with grace and empathy,” said Danielle Fontenot, Aces Foundation executive director. “Emotional intelligence creates an emotional identity and is the foundation for self-awareness, resilience, and compassionate understating, allowing us to cultivate a healthier mind and more fulfilling life.”
