We are looking forward to bringing a virtual component to Mental Health Advocacy Day in 2021. While the format may be different, the event focus is the same and we hope that you will be involved. We will begin the morning with Welcome Addresses from State Leaders and a Keynote Plenary Session. The afternoon will be an opportunity for the community to share their mental health experiences and stories.
Our Keynote Speaker is Chackupurackai Mathai. Chacku will speak about "Embracing Our Lived Experience Leadership" and will talk about harnessing it to inform and empower our advocacy. Chacku is an Indian-American, who first became involved in consumer/survivor/ex-patient advocacy and peer support when he was 16 years old. Chacku currently works as Director for the SAMHSA Healthy Transitions Initiative with the Center for Practice Innovations and OnTrackNY, a Coordinated Specialty Care model for young people experiencing early psychosis in New York State.
Mental Health Advocacy Day is open to all mental health advocates, peers, family members, professionals, providers, community members and mental health stakeholders.
