Schatzie Brunner launched New Way Now in 2018 to break the mental health stigma, focused on helping businesses foster happier and healthier workforces.
Schatzie, a former CNN anchor, celebrated author, and depression awareness advocate, spent decades struggling with depression in silence. Known as Barbara Brunner on the air at CNN, Schatzie played out what most people with depression know and hopes to teach the rest of us, that The Face of Depression is not what you may expect.
In her experience, those with depression become expert actors in all parts of their lives, believing it’s less risky to hide depression than talk about it or admit you have it.
New Way Now is on a mission to change workplace wellness.
