Mental Health Advocacy: Stories from NAMI Champions on The Recovery Hour

In order to change my community, I had to change me, and a part of changing me was increasing my level of knowledge when it comes to mental health, substance abuse, recovery and how that actually looks for the state of Georgia.
Ever wondered what drives someone to become a mental health advocate? In this episode of The Recovery Hour, hosts Bill Carruthers and Tanisha Character sit down with members of NAMI Georgia and the local NAMI Rockdale Newton affiliate. You'll hear from Bernie and Diane Marinelli, Claudette Harden, Monique Carter, and Carol Gaddy as they share their deeply personal journeys and the reasons behind their commitment to mental health advocacy.
This conversation is not just about their stories; it's about the collective effort to bring about change in the mental health community. They dive into the power of collaborative partnerships, the impact of legislative advocacy, and the importance of upcoming community forums, especially in a post-COVID world. Whether you're looking for inspiration or practical advice on how to support mental health initiatives, this episode offers a wealth of insights.
