The Vermont Center for Independent Living along with Disability Rights Vermont will be sponsoring a SPEAK OUT on mental health issues in Bennington county. Wednesday, May 25, 1:00-3:00 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Bennington, 108 School Street. PAIMI (Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness), part of Disability Rights Vermont, will be in town to hear your concerns, struggles, wishes and aspirations concerning mental health.
