SUMMARY:NAMI Family Voices - hosted by UCS
DESCRIPTION:As part of Mental Health Awareness Month\, you are invited to join UCS on May 6 from 3:30-5pm (Community Conference Room\, 100 Ledge Hill Drive\, Bennington\, VT) for an event featuring stories told in-person by Chip and Judy Siler (President and Vice President of National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) VT) about supporting family members living with mental health conditions. \nFamily Voices is an interactive presentation that challenges stereotypes and builds empathy by considering the impact mental health conditions have not just on the individual living with the illness\, but also on their loved ones. Trained presenters with lived experience as family members of individuals living with a mental health condition talk openly about their experiences. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions to learn more about how the presenters and their loved ones have coped with the conditions affecting their families and how to live well in spite of them. \nPlease RSVP here.
