In Our Own Voice

Kelly Roten is coordinating the NAMI Austin "In Our Own Voices" (IOOV) presentations. In this program consumers speak to groups about their experiences living with mental illness.

Giving these illnesses a human face and imparting accurate information decreases stigma and promotes the reality that people who have a mental illness can lead happy and fulfilling lives. These presentations are for all kinds of groups: civic, government, police, fraternal, church, etc. Audience members learn, first hand, what it means to have a serious mental illness and how the recovery process works.

If you know of a group that might like to host a presentation, please call Kelly Roten at 420-9810 or e-mail her at kelly@namiaustin.org.
