In Our Own Voice: Older Adults and Mental Illness

In collaboration with the NYC Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), we will present In Our Own Voice - a unique and powerful presentation offering insight into the hope and recovery possible for people living with mental illness.  Two older adults with mental health conditions will share their personal stories, humanizing this misunderstood topic by demonstrating that it’s possible – and common – to live well with mental illness.
