NAMI CDA Programs

NAMI IOOV presentations provide a personal perspective of mental illness, as presenters with lived experience talk openly about what it's like to live with a mental health condition. This presentation also provides:

• A chance to ask presenters questions, allowing for a deeper understanding of mental health conditions and dispelling of stereotypes and misconceptions.
• The understanding that every person with a mental health condition can hope for a brighter future.
• Information on how to learn more about mental health and get involved with the mental health community.
