NAMI Vermont is seeking facilitators for a new program: Sharing Hope. This transformative series seeks to foster healing and support by offering a safe, non-judgmental space for people to come together, share their experiences, and learn about mental health services available locally. Through a three-part conversation series, participants engage in discussions on mental health and wellness, guided by facilitators who share similar lived experiences.
Are you a member of the Black/African Ancestry community and want to help lead Sharing Hope conversations? NAMI Vermont is excited to work with you! Please visit namivt.org/sharing-hope to learn more and get started.
