NAMI In Our Own Voice presentations change attitudes, assumptions and ideas about people with mental health conditions. These free presentations provide a personal perspective of mental health conditions, as leaders with lived experience talk openly about what it’s like to have a mental health condition. In Our Own Voice presentations provide an opportunity to hear open and honest perspectives on a highly misunderstood topic.

NAMI Ending the Silence is an engaging presentation that helps middle and high school aged youth learn about the warning signs of mental health conditions and what steps to take if you or a loved one are showing symptoms of a mental health condition.

This presentation is generally given in person by local affiliates. NAMI.org does have an online presentation available here.
