This month, we will present the NAMI program "Ending the Silence" for School and Faith Community staff and volunteers.

What is NAMI Ending the Silence?

NAMI Ending the Silence is a free presentation designed to give audience members an opportunity to learn about mental illness through an informative Power Point and short videos. There are three types of Ending the Silence presentations: one for middle school and high school Students ; one for School staff and Faith Community staff and volunteers, and one for Families. Each presentation outlines symptoms of mental health conditions and gives attendees ideas about how to help themselves, friends, or family members who may need support. Additionally, all 3 presentations include personal testimony from a young adult living with a mental health condition and his/her journey to recovery.

Attending this session can help you determine if you want to bring this free program to your organization or youth group.

Audience Perspectives

“It is amazing what just one day, one talk can do. You never really know what’s going on in the brain of any particular student.” -Teacher

“I’m really grateful and glad that you talked to us. I often feel very alone or weird because many kids my age don’t understand. But, now I’m sure they would be more supportive of me.” -Student
