four-women-poster-tabloid-final-finalFour Women, Four Stories

What is mental illness?  Is it possible to recover from mental illness?

Please join Ashleigh, Kathy, Carol, and Vicky as they share their journeys of recovery from mental illness.  Their stories of hope and transformation offer alternative narratives to the belief that mental illness is permanent and untreatable.

This symposium is made possible by a grant from the Center for the Study of Women in Society and In Our Own Voice, a unique public education program developed by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Light refreshments and snacks will be provided.  This event is free and open to the public.
