NAMI Tennessee is proud to announce our new In Our Own Voice presenters who graduated from training recently. They have shown dedication and willingness to use their story to dispel the stigma surrounding mental health and showcase that recovery IS possible. This includes Jody Harris of NAMI Maryville Blount.
In Our Own Voice presentations change attitudes, assumptions and ideas about people with mental health conditions. These free presentations provide a personal perspective as leaders with lived experience talk openly about what it's like to have a mental health condition.
