In Our Own Voice presentations change attitudes,
assumptions and stereotypes by describing the reality of living with mental
illness.
Powerful personal stories are shared by individuals with
mental health conditions in this brief presentation. The format includes a
video, personal testimony and discussion—which enriches understanding of how
individuals with these serious disorders cope with symptoms, recover, and lead
productive lives with hope, meaning and dignity.
The program also empowers those faced with mental
illness, and provides living proof that recovery is an ongoing reality.
In Our Own Voice is a NAMI NH recovery, education
presentation given by trained presenters who themselves have faced mental
illness and are in recovery.
