In Our Own Voice - IOOV
In Our Own Voice is a free presentation given by two
people living with mental illness about their journey with their diseases. The
hour-long talk is appropriate for family members, friends, professionals, lay
audiences and other people living with mental illness. It includes a videotape,
personal testimony, discussion and enriches the audience’s understanding of how
people with these serious disorders cope with reality of their illnesses while
recovering and reclaiming productive lives.
Two trained speakers do the presentations
together. Participants receive a stipend for the
presentations. IOOV presentations are
given to consumer groups, students, law enforcement officials, educators,
providers, faith community members, politicians, professionals, inmates, and
interested civic groups. All presentations are offered free of charge
