There is power in sharing our stories. 💚
NAMI In Our Own Voice (IOOV) gives people living with mental health conditions an opportunity to share their experiences, challenge stigma and remind others they are not alone.
NAMI Thurston-Mason volunteer Michael Harris first experienced IOOV after being hospitalized for mental health reasons in 2023. Inspired by the care he received, he wanted to give back. Since then, he has delivered dozens of presentations — including to patients at the same hospital where he received care.
“I am hopeful that by sharing my experiences, others struggling with mental health conditions can realize that they are part of a larger community of people who are ready and willing to support each other.”
Would your group or organization benefit from an In Our Own Voice presentation? Presentations can be tailored to 40, 60 or 90 minutes.
