Your Voice Can Make an Impact
NAMI Ending the Silence presentations include two leaders: one who shares an informative presentation and a young adult with a mental health condition who shares their journey of recovery. Audience members can ask questions and gain understanding of an often-misunderstood topic. Through dialogue, we can help grow the movement to end stigma.

“At the end of my first presentation of the day, a young lady came up to the teacher and said this is not for me .But from what this lady just said I think a friend of mine in another class has posted online that she is thinking of hurting herself.
The teacher went to the counselor.
The counselor pulled the other student out of class and it was true . The counselor called in the parent and they talked about what help the student would need.”
