Add to Calendar 2025-05-20 18:30:00 2025-05-20 20:00:00 America/Chicago NAMI In Our Own Voice Presented in partnership by NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Lake County. Warren-Newport Public Library - Meeting Room A/B

Presented in partnership by NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Lake County.

NAMI In Our Own Voice presentations change attitudes, assumptions and ideas about people living with mental health conditions. In this presentation, you will hear personal perspectives of mental health conditions, as facilitators with lived experiences talk openly about what it’s like to have a mental health condition and how to find resources and support to thrive.

This presentation provides:

  • An opportunity to hear open and honest perspectives on a highly misunderstood & stigmatized topic
  • A chance to ask facilitators questions, allowing for a deeper understanding of mental health conditions and dispelling of stereotypes and misconceptions
  • Information on how to learn more about mental health and get involved with the mental health community
