In Our Own Voice is an education presentation in which trained consumer speakers share compelling personal stories about living with mental illness and achieving recovery, in conjunction with a video. The program was started with a grant from Eli Lily and Company.
IOOV is an opportunity for those who have struggled with mental illness to gain confidence and to share their individual experiences of recovery and transformation.
Throughout the IOOV presentation, audience members are encouraged to offer feedback and ask questions. Audience participation is an important aspect of IOOV because the more audience members become involved, the closer they come to understanding what it is like to live with a mental illness and stay in recovery.
IOOV presentations are given to consumer groups, students,
law enforcement officials, educators, providers, faith community members,
politicians, professionals, inmates, and interested civic groups.
