When provided thoughtfully, with attention to the youth and family’s culture and experience, feedback can help youth and families to better understand their experiences and reduce misconceptions, worry, and shame about symptoms. Feedback can also help the youth to begin learning and practicing effective coping skills and strategies.

The language of the written word is too limiting for efforts to communicate mental health awareness. Image and sound, which have been used to communicate and teach since ancient times, are much more powerful. Film and other audiovisual media are important ways to promote mental health and reduce stigma and can help enhance emotional and intellectual harmony.

NAMI has many free support and educational programs. This talk will review these programs and discuss NAMI's first bookYou Are Not Alone, where people who have lived with mental health conditions use their names and share what they have learned. They do so to reduce the isolation and shame so common with mental health conditions and to make meaning of their experience. Their lessons include ways they have found to live with symptoms, give to others, and build a life. Families who have learned to communicate and cope with loss will also share what they learned.
Presenter: Ken Duckworth, MD, is the chief medical officer of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Ken is board certified in adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry, and is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
