The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will be on campus providing a presentation on mental health conditions March 1 from 2-3 p.m. in the Trutter Center. All faculty and staff are welcome to join. Registration is not required.
NAMI In Our Own Voice presentations change attitudes, assumptions and ideas about people with mental health conditions. This 60-minute presentation will 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.
This presentation will provide:
- 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
