NAMI FaithNet Bridges of Hope Presentation

This presentation is designed to educate congregations and faith communities about mental illness in order to provide a more welcoming environment for people affected by it. The Bridges of Hope presentation is about 30 minutes in length and includes a speaker’s guide. Speakers are encouraged to customize the presentation based on their audience’s familiarity with mental illness through three sections: What is mental illness? What is the role of the faith community in helping people and families touched by serious mental illness? Who is NAMI, and what does it offer to individuals, families, and faith communities?
