Keynote Summary
The Five Building Blocks of Recovery is Jared's signature keynote presentation. He developed these pillars in the summer of 2022 by observing what has worked for him along his own recovery journey (as well as all of his mistakes) and observing what has worked for others through his involvement with the National Alliance on Mental Illness Westside Los Angeles (NAMI WLA).

When implemented, the Five Building Blocks of Recovery can lead to profound growth and healing over time.
I have struggled with anxiety since I was a teenager, but was always able to keep myself stable throughout high school and college by focusing on school and leaning on the structure that being a student provided me. After graduating from college in 2012 I moved back to my childhood home, and the three years from 2013-2015 were what I call the “dark years” of my life. I developed an eating disorder and became completely hopeless and suicidal.
Everything culminated in 2015 when I spent 50 days at a psychiatric hospital and 4.5 months at a residential recovery program, where I finally got on the right medication, overcame my eating disorder, and got my life back after three long years.
I have been in recovery for the last eight years. I got a Masters degree from the University of Southern California in Urban Planning in 2019 (including a Dean’s Merit Scholarship for half of my tuition) and have been working as a mental health advocate in various roles for the National Alliance on Mental Illness Westside Los Angeles (NAMI WLA) since October of 2020.
