"In Our Own Voice - Living With Mental Illness"

Two trained In Our Own Voice speakers share compelling and personal testimonies of the living with and overcoming the challenges posed by mental illness. Audience participation and discussion are encouraged, and a brief video with a variety of stories accompanies the presentation. By broadening people’s knowledge of mental illness, we replace misunderstanding, fear, and judgment with insight, awareness, and acceptance.

Each presentation:

  • Lasts from 60 to 90 minutes
  • Is offered free of charge
  • Is delivered to a variety of audiences
  • Follows a structured format covering issues frequently faced by those dealing with mental illness

Presentations can be arranged through the local chapter at (520) 459-3228 or 1-800-380-2322.
