In Our Own Voice:  Two trained In Our Own Voice speakers share compelling and personal testimonies of living with and overcoming the challenges posed by mental illness.  Audience participation and discussion are encouraged, and a brief video with a variety of stories accompanies the presentation.  By broadening people's knowledge of mental illness, we replace mis-understanding, fear, and judgement with insight, awareness, and acceptance.  The In Our Own Voice presentation can be adapted to meet the special needs of the audience upon request.  To schedule a presentation please contact Sharon Lyons at 314.962.4670 or sharon@namistl.org.

Each In Our Own Voice is:

  • 60-90 minute presentation
  • offered FREE of charge
  • delivered to a variety of audiences
  • follows a structured format covering issues frequently faced by those dealing with mental illness

Who benefits from In Our Own Voice:
