Commemorating Mental Health Month is crucial in breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness. NAMI's In Our Own Voice presentations offer a unique opportunity to gain insight into the experiences of individuals living with mental health conditions.

These free sessions, ranging from 40 to 90 minutes, feature leaders sharing their personal journeys, providing a human perspective on mental health. Attendees can engage with speakers, fostering a deeper understanding and challenging stereotypes.

By participating, you'll uncover the realities of living with a mental health condition, dispelling misconceptions and embracing the richness of individuals' lives, filled with aspirations and achievements.

To arrange a free presentation for your community in New Jersey, whether it's a class, religious group, first responders, etc reach out to ioov@naminj.org. Let's work together to promote understanding and support within the mental health community.
