My Story - hosted by UMBC NAMI

Tue, 29 Mar 2016 10:02:47 -0400

UMBC NAMI will be holding its first My Story event on April 29th at 6:30pm in the Skylight Lounge. The purpose of this event is to increase campus-wide empathy & understanding of mental illness and to foster an open & supportive campus environment for students affected by it. At this event, student speakers will have the opportunity to share the impact mental illness has had on their lives, whether it be through loved ones or through themselves, and help others see beyond the superficial image of mental illness. The recommended attire is semi-formal and dinner & refreshments will be served. We truly hope you all will join us an incredible night with some extraordinary people. We ask that everyone bring an open mind and leave judgments at the door. Can’t wait to see you there!
