July 25, 7:00 p.m. – “In Our Own Voice” – In Our Own Voice(IOOV) is a unique public education program developed by NAMI, in which speakers share compelling personal stories about living with mental illness and achieving recovery.  Throughout the IOOV presentation you will be encouraged to offer feedback and ask questions.
