The Clothesline Project – Exhibition

Grace Smith House has been serving our community, for forty-two years.

NAMI In Our Own Voice (virtual)

In Our Own Voice is an interactive presentation that provides insight into what it’s like to live with a mental health condition.

National Alliance on Mental Illness Dutchess County presents  In Our Own Voice –  a unique one-hour public education program in which two trained speakers share their compelling personal stories of living with mental health challenges and achieving recovery. This presentation includes videos and discussion.

Register here!

This presentation provides:

  • An opportunity to hear open and honest perspectives on a highly misunderstood topic.
  • A safe place to ask questions, allowing for a deeper understanding of mental health conditions and dispelling of stereotypes and misconceptions. Through dialogue, we help grown the movement to build better lives.
  • The understanding that people who live with mental health conditions have lives enriched by hopes, dreams and goals.
  • Information on how to learn more about and support mental health and how to get involved in the community.

We believe through community awareness presentations like this, we can help bring hope to those who deal with mental health challenges, and their families and the greater community we share.

Come see our two presenters as they walk you through their journey to recovery… they will speak of their personal stories and give hope.

Zoom information will be emailed one hour before event. Please add contact@namimidhudson.org to your address book or safe sender list to ensure the email goes into your Inbox.
