WOW May | Tuesday, May 21

Guest Speaker

Peggy Huppert
Executive Director, NAMI Iowa

A mental illness is a medical condition that disrupts a person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others and daily functioning. Most people believe that mental disorders are rare and “happen to someone else." But in fact, mental disorders are common and widespread -- affecting people of any age, race, religion or income.

It is estimated that 130,000 Iowans live with a serious mental illness.

Join us in May as Peggy Huppert, Executive Director of NAMI Iowa, shares how the organization is helping to provide advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all Iowans affected by mental illness can lead better lives.

No matter how you contribute to the mental health movement, you can make a difference simply by knowing that mental illness is not anyone’s fault, no matter what societal stigma says.
