NAMI-NYC Young Adult Voices Story Hour
November 13 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST
NAMI-NYC proudly presents a special In Our Own Voice (IOOV) presentation: Young Adult Voices Story Hour on Thursday, November 13, 6-7 PM on Zoom. NAMI-NYC young adult community members, Kristen Koniuch and Kotaro Umeda, 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 people with mental illness are like. Going to this presentation will provide you with:
- A first-hand account of what it’s like to live with a mental illness. Presenters humanize this misunderstood topic by demonstrating that it’s possible—and common—to live well with mental illness.
- The understanding that every young person living with a mental health condition can hope for a bright future.
- A chance to ask the presenters questions, which allows for a deeper understanding of mental health conditions and dispel stereotypes and misconceptions.
