Active Minds, a student group that seeks to eliminate the stigma of mental illness, is hosting two speakers on Thursday. Amanda Textor explains:
“In Our Own Voices” speaker series from the National Alliance on Mental Illness featuring Elizabeth Rajchart and Theresa San Luis will be coming to speak about their personal experiences with mental illness and how they dealt with the diagnoses in college.
Speakers will be playing a video and stopping it at segments to discuss their own personal journeys with mental illness through dark days, acceptance, treatment, coping strategies, and finally success, hopes, and dreams.
The event will be held in the Saint Louis Room in the BSC at 7 PM.
Sponsored by Active Minds and cosponsored by the Great Issues Committee, Psi Chi, Billikens After Dark, School of Social Work, Doerr Center for Social Justice.
