Event Details

Sharing Hope: Understanding Mental Health is a 60 minute talk with people of faith who have wisdom from lived experience.

  • Why would your loved one not leave his room for two weeks?
  • How to be supportve of your friend who seemed so hyper one minute but so low the next?

Across the nation, congregations of all denominations bring African American families together and provide emotional support to their members. Researchers have found evidence that African Americans seek help from the clergy more frequently than from other professionals. Mental health issues are no exception. When dealing with mental illness, African American families might look for guidance, support, and understanding from their faith community.

It is for these reasons that NAMI has developed Sharing Hope: Understanding Mental Health. The hallmark of this initiative is an interactive educational presentation that aims to decrease mental health stigma in this community, increase awareness of mental health recovery, and to introduce NAMI education and support programs.
