Pathways to a Healthy Mind:
This is a panel presentation with respect to Pride and Mental Illness and in honor of LGBTQ Pride Month.

As a community, LGBTQ individuals who also happen to experience a mental health condition or love someone who does, rarely talk about their mental health. As with many in our society, they may lack awareness about the various mental health conditions. This sometimes prevents people from seeking the treatment and support that they need to get stable with their mental health. Come join our interactive panel presentation as our guest speakers explore the needs our LGBTQ community who also to feel the impact of mental illness within themselves or a loved one.

NAMI Sacramento seeks to improve the conversation around mental illness for everyone so people feel comfortable seeking the information and support they need.

Sundays 7:00 – 8:30 pm: United Methodist Church, 8986 Elk Grove Blvd. (East of Highway 99), Sacramento.
