Guest speakers from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will be speaking from their In Our Own Voice program.

NAMI In Our Own Voice adds a critical perspective to the popular understanding of what people living with mental health conditions are like. Going to this presentation will provide you:

-A first-hand account of what it's like to live with a mental health condition. Presenters humanize this misunderstood topic by demonstrating that it's possible—and common—to live well with a mental health condition.

-A chance to ask the presenters questions, which allows for a deeper understanding of mental health conditions and dispels stereotypes and misconceptions.

-The understanding that every person with a mental health condition can hope for a bright future.
