No One Recovers Alone: Strengthening Family Engagement
No One Recovers Alone: Strengthening Family Engagement
October 9 @ 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Many adults with serious mental illnesses experience loneliness. Often their families are both their caregiver and social support system. This class describes the impacts of loneliness and recognizes that no one goes through a serious illness by themselves. Learn the importance of engaging family members and promoting connections to others, and identify strategies to meaningfully engage family members and friends in a person’s life.
Presented by Sue Abderholden, Outgoing Executive Director of NAMI-MN. Sue’s work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Health Equity Award from the Minneapolis Health Department, the Distinguished Citizen Award from Macalester College, the National NAMI Rona and Ken Purdy Award to End Discrimination, and repeated honors as one of Minnesota Physician’s “100 Most Influential Health Care Leaders.”
Lunch will be provided. Please email Hannah with dietary restrictions: [email protected].
