Did you have mental health challenges as a child, young adult, or teen? Are you between the age of 18 and 35? Do you live in or near Clackamas County, Oregon or are able to commit to travel within the county? Would you like to help Middle and High School students obtain a better understanding of mental illness by sharing your own recovery story? Would you like to help us end the stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide? Become a Young Adult or Lead Presenter of Ending the Silence. As we move forward towards schools reopening full time in the Fall, we are looking for presenters who are able to attend in-person or online presentations during the weekdays at local Clackamas County middle and high schools. Presentations are primarily in the morning, but occasionally are given in the afternoon. Through this free classroom presentation, middle and high school students get to learn about mental health conditions, how to support their friends and how to get help. During the 60-minute presentation, a young adult living with mental illness, and an adult with a family member or loved one living with mental illness, tell their stories about mental health challenges, including what hurt and what helped. At each pre-scheduled presentation of Ending the Silence there are two presenters: Young Adult Presenter: A 15-minute presentation by someone who shares their own lived experience seeking mental health services as a child, teen, or young adult. The young adult speaker also shares their experience by answering questions from students and offering coping skills based on their own lived experience. Lead Presenter: An adult with a family member or loved one living with mental illness, who gives a 30-minute PowerPoint presentation to the students and teachers, leads discussions, and offers their experiences where appropriate. Training is required and will be provided. (self-paced online, and working with training coordinator) Why Ending the Silence Matters: 1 in 5 kids experiences a mental health condition; only 20% of them actually get help About 50% of students ages 14+ with a mental health condition will drop out of school Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for 15-24-year-olds The earlier the better: early identification and intervention provides better outcomes

Give Back - Make an Impact - Change Lives Volunteer to become a Connection Support Group Facilitator! Are you living with and managing a mental health condition? Are you interested in learning skills to help support others? If so, you may be the perfect person to be a NAMI Connection Support Group Facilitator! NAMI Peer Connection Support Groups are a free peer-based, mutual support group program for any adult living with a mental illness. Connection groups are led by two trained facilitators who are in recovery themselves and are at a point where they want to "give back to others" by offering encouragement and support through their own experiences. Successful facilitators are good listeners with an empathetic ear. Groups provide a supportive place for people to share their experiences, resources and/or wellness strategies, and learn from others and know that they are not alone. Volunteers need to commit to facilitating a group for at least one year. Training is required and provided for this opportunity. If you want to improve your own health while helping others, this is for you. "At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished... it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back." - Denzel Washington

Sharing is caring. Are you ready to share your story? NAMI’s exclusive presentation, In Our Own Voice , features four pairs of people on video and one pair "live, all sharing the struggles and successes with their mental health. Called "the ultimate empathy builder", In Our Own Voice humanizes this thing we call "mental illness" as 10 different people share their experiences from discovery to recovery. YOU COULD BE ONE OF THEM. We are actively seeking "live" presenters who are willing to tell their story to audiences throughout Clackamas County eager to learn that they are not alone when wondering how to support themselves and/or their loved ones dealing with the challenges that come with mental health issues. WHAT’S INVOLVED? A full day of training to prepare and deliver your story, along with ongoing coaching, are provided at no cost. Presentations are scheduled by staff and sent to all qualified presenters, giving you the option to participate or not. Your time commitment would vary, as presentations last 60-90 minutes depending upon audience questions. Each presenter is featured for a total of 5-7 minutes throughout the presentation. We ask that each presenter commit to at least six presentations in their first 12 months after training. INTERESTED? WANT TO LEARN MORE?? Contact Sheri at volunteercoor@namicc.org "Sharing my story has been as therapeutic for me as it has been for my audiences."
