NAMI Mass Sharing Our Stories

NAMI Mass Sharing Our Stories (SOS) is an impactful presentation delivered by two family members of people living with mental health conditions. Two trained presenters share their experiences as caregivers or supporters and their personal journeys. Audience members will have the chance to ask questions and engage in discussion with the speakers.

NAMI Mass is currently training speakers for our new SOS program and plans to begin scheduling presentations in fall 2022. If you are interested in booking an SOS presentation, please contact Sarah Ford at sford@namimass.org to be added to our waitlist.

Join us for a virtual Sharing Our Stories (SOS) presentation! Registration is required.

Below are upcoming presentations that are open to the general public. We hope you’ll join us! Registration is required for virtual presentations.

Most SOS presentations are privately hosted by individual business, organizations, and groups. Contact us for more information or to schedule your presentation!
