Do you have lived experience with a mental health condition?
Would you like to help change assumptions about people with mental health conditions and help them find support and resources?
In Our Own Voice is a free, 60-minute presentation that provides 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.
This presentation provides:
An opportunity to hear open and honest perspectives on a highly misunderstood topic
A chance to ask leaders questions, allowing for a deeper understanding of mental health conditions and dispelling of stereotypes and misconceptions
The understanding that people with mental health conditions have lives enriched by hopes, dreams and goals
Information on how to learn more about mental health and get involved with the mental health community
