Ending the Silence Matters

Ending the Silence is a program for students in grades 7 – 12 that helps inform youth about the warning signs of mental health conditions and what steps to take if they or a loved one experience symptoms of a mental illness. A lead presenter from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) shares an informative presentation and a young adult living with a mental health condition shares their journey of recovery. Questions and answers follow and audience members gain understanding of an often-misunderstood topic.

Ending the Silence for Families is a presentation for parents and primary caregivers. It includes warning signs, facts and statistics, how to talk to your child and best ways to work with school staff.
