Mental Health Speaker - In Our Own Voice

Are you 18 or older and living with a mental health condition? Have you engaged in treatment and are in a positive and stable place? Are you interested in sharing your story with others to help reduce the stigma associated with mental health conditions?

In Our Own Voice speakers share compelling and personal stories of living with a mental health condition and help to break down mental health stigma within the community.

The presentation features two trained In Our Own Voice speakers who share compelling and personal testimonies of living with and overcoming the challenges posed by mental health conditions. 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 health conditions, we replace misunderstanding, fear, and judgement with insight, awareness, and acceptance. Presenters are paid a fee per presentation and mileage reimbursement to/from the location.

NAMI St. Louis will be hosting a LIVE virtual speaker training on zoom - 4/16/22 from 8:00am-5:30pm.
