My name is Becky Flaherty and I grew up in central Indiana, but have been on the east coast since starting school at New York University in 2016. During the summer of 2021, I was hospitalized and diagnosed with anxiety and depression. NAMI-NYC has helped me understand my diagnoses and empowered me to share my story. As a former student-athlete and current yoga teacher trainee, I am excited to work toward my goal of running the New York City Marathon with NAMI-NYC!
