Mental Illness Awareness Week: Recovery is Possible - Depression

October 3, 2008 in Mental Illness Awareness Week, All, DVD Training by admin

Summary

In conjunction with The National Alliance on Mental Illness’ (NAMI) Mental Illness Awareness week, the Missouri Institute of Mental Health (MIMH) and NAMI-Saint Louis are collaborating to bring you an exciting array of programs celebrating the theme of “Recovery is Possible.” Each day during the first full week of October, we will hold a free Web Conference highlighting a different aspect of mental illness and recovery. Our goal is to help destigmatize mental illness, describe how persons with mental illness can “recover,” and to explain the symptoms of some common diagnoses. The programs will feature both professionals and consumers talking about their experiences of mental illness.
