Individuals with mental illness face an uphill battle every day. A complicated mental health system. A lack of adequate services. Stigma. Yet, so many overcome these obstacles. So many find their way to recovery. And of those individuals, many of them are brave enough to share their story.
NAMI Keystone Pennsylvania’s annual mental health and wellness conference, Champions of Mental Wellness: Fighting Stigma and Stereotypes in the System and Society, will celebrate those stories of recovery. But it will also examine barriers that make the journey to recovery that much harder, like stereotypes associated with violence, homelessness, race and culture.
Opportunities are available for organizations to sponsor one or more champions. Scholarships will offset the cost of registration and overnight accommodations for individuals and family members affected by mental illness. If you would like to sponsor a specific individual(s), contact Sara Levine Steinberg at slsteinberg@namikeystonepa.org to make conference registration arrangements.
