In Our Own Voice

In Our Own Voice (IOOV) is a public education program developed by NAMI, in which trained speakers share compelling personal stories about living with mental illness and achieving recovery. They share insights into what a mental illness is, the affect the illness has had on their lives, and the prejudices and stereotypes they sometimes face in the community. This presentation will be followed by a Candlelight Vigil commemorating Mental Illness Awareness Week, which starts on October 5th.
