  • NAMI Orange County Hosted by Huntington Beach Senior Center 18041 Goldenwest St., Huntington Beach, CA (map)

Join our guests, Danny and Shelley, as they share personal experiences about what it is like to live with a mental illness.

NAMI In Our Own Voice presentations change attitudes, assumptions and ideas about people with mental health conditions, as leaders with lived experience talk openly about what it's like to have a mental health condition.

This presentation provides:

  • An opportunity to hear open and honest perspectives on a highly misunderstood topic

  • A chance to ask leaders questions, allowing for a deeper understanding of mental health conditions and dispelling of stereotypes and misconceptions

  • The understanding that people with mental health conditions have lives enriched by hopes, dreams and goals

  • Information on how to learn more about mental health and get involved with the mental health community
