NAMI Wisconsin was happy to support an event last week that brought together students from four Raise Your Voice clubs in the Barron County area. For this training, Raise Your Voice Clubs, NAMI Wisconsin, and the Barron County Department of Health & Human partnered to provide students with a research-based program “Up to Me” from the Rogers Behavioral Health Foundation.

Through the Up to Me training, students gained a better understanding of how to thoughtfully and effectively use their personal stories as a tool for self-advocacy and for creating change within their broader communities.
