About the speaker:
Cameron Stout graduated from Princeton in 1980. He majored in American History, played on the varsity tennis team, and went on to a successful career as a securities litigator and mediator in San Francisco. Cam is also an alcoholic, and the survivor of two major depressive episodes. Therapies including medication, the love of family and friends, and diligent self-care, helped Cam fight his way out of the abyss of clinical depression and alcoholism.
For the last six years, Cam has worked as a mental health advocate and public speaker, sharing his story of resilience, recovery, and hope, and offering his insights on self-care strategies and mindsets. In addition to addressing folks in various professions, Cam has given talks to students and faculty at a number of universities and high schools around the country.
Cam moved back to Princeton from Palo Alto, CA in 2019 when his wife, Laura Docter, accepted a position teaching at the Hun School. His mental wellness advocacy is supported in part by his non-profit, Stout Heart, Inc. (www.stoutheart.org).
