NAMI In Our Own Voice is an interactive presentation that provides insight into what it’s like to live with mental illness. The presentation is led by two adults living with mental health conditions and includes video and discussion. Audiences are given a safe space to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of an often misunderstood topic. Through dialogue, we help grow the movement to build better lives.
