NAMI UVM Bi-Weekly Meetings

    NAMI UVM meets every other Tuesday from 6 to 7 or so. We meet in the ACCESS office directly following Soupy Tuesdays, so we usually have plenty of food! This is also the time we discuss what is going on in the world, nationally, in vermont and at our school in terms of mental and psychological events.

    Because we are an advocacy group, we also use this time to discuss ideas for events or speakers to bring to campus and assign members roles for upcoming events (such as working on publicity, reserving a room, etc... We really don't take up much time, so this is a great group for you to join if you would like to fight for social rights within our nation and within our own communities.

    We would also like to say that you do not have to have a mental illness to be in this group! We value any imput from others and gladly welcome anyone who can help those with mental illnesses get equal rights. This is one group you can join if you wish to change the world for the better and actually see your work influencing the community and UVM. Eduacation of others is the key to reducing stigma in the future and you can be the educator, pioneering this effort!
