About Mental Health 101
Mental Health 101 is a program devoted to giving individuals an opportunity to learn about mental illness through an informative presentation, short video, and personal testimonies that represent a variety of cultures, beliefs, and values. In this hour-long presentation, participants will learn the signs and symptoms of mental illness and are given ideas about how to help themselves, friends, or family members who may be in need of support through the lens of their own cultural and personal experiences. The goal of this program is to create a multi-generation of culturally diverse individuals that can help address the stigma associated with mental illness through education, support, and advocacy.
The Presenters:
Laura Bemis from NAMI Sacramento
Leona Satterburg from NAMI Yolo
