104,000 Vermont adults have a mental health condition. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Vermonters ages 15 to 34. Mental health is at the forefront of the conversation and the subject of numerous legislative bills, nationwide and here in Vermont. We've come a long way in reducing the stigma around mental illness, but there is still work to do. Join Margie Lemay, Office Manager at the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Vermont, for a presentation and open discussion about mental illness, resources available in Vermont, NAMI Vermont's free support and education programs, and ways that you can get involved and advocate for mental health systems change.
NAMI Vermont is the independent state chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization. NAMI Vermont supports, educates, and advocates so that all communities, families, and individuals affected by mental health challenges can build better lives.
