NAMI-NYC Black Mental Health Story Hour

Join Us

NAMI-NYC proudly presents a special In Our Own Voice (IOOV) presentation: Black Mental Health Story Hour on Tuesday, June 3, 6-7 PM on Zoom. NAMI-NYC community members, Sierra Porter and Robin Graham, will share their personal story of mental health challenges and their road to recovery.

In Our Own Voice adds a critical perspective to the popular understanding of what it is like to live with a mental health condition. Mental health challenges affect 1 in every 5 Americans, and yet images of mental illness in the media and pop culture are often incorrect and harmful. Black and African American community members also often face additional challenges in their journey to recovery. The goal of In Our Own Voice is to reduce the stigma around this important topic.
