All are welcome to attend a National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) In Our Own Voice presentation Thursday, Feb. 22 from 6:30-8 p.m. on the McNichols Campus.
The presentation, hosted by the College of Health Professions and made possible by the Mission Micro-Grant, will take place in the Chemistry Building, Room 114.
NAMI In Our Own Voice presentations change attitudes, assumptions and ideas about people with mental health conditions. These presentations provide a personal perspective of mental health conditions, as leaders with lived experience talk openly about what it’s like to have a mental health condition.
The presentation provides:
- An opportunity to hear open and honest perspectives on a highly misunderstood topic.
- A chance to ask leaders questions, allowing for a deeper understanding of mental health conditions and dispelling of stereotypes and misconceptions.
- The understanding that people with mental health conditions have lives enriched by hopes, dreams and goals.
- Information on how to learn more about mental health and get involved with the mental health community.
With any questions or for more information, please contact Andrea Kwasky at kwaskyan@udmercy.edu or Mary Serowoky at serowoml2@udmercy.edu.
