Stories of Mental Illness, Recovery at Library

GREENSBORO – Two representatives from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) who live in the Northeast Kingdom will share their journeys of mental illness and recovery in a free public program, “In Our Own Voice,” at the Greensboro Free Library on Tuesday, June 25, at 5:30 p.m.  The goal of the program is to provide insight into what it’s like to live with a mental illness and offer a safe place for the audience to ask questions and gain understanding of an often misunderstood topic. NAMI is the country’s largest grassroots organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. The NAMI Vermont chapter offers weekly in-person and Zoom support groups and educational courses for individuals and their families, and also advocates for services supporting mental health and the mentally ill at the Vermont Legislature. More information about NAMI Vermont can be found at namivt.org, for more information about the Library program email [email protected].
