Too often, individuals with mental health conditions feel compelled to hide behind a mask. At Off The Mask, we encourage everyone to shed these masks and embrace their authentic selves. By sharing our stories, we help others feel less stigmatized and more embraced by their community.
Hear What Past Attendees Have to Say
"[My daughter] came with me for the day and to have her there to understand what I do and for her to see that her mom is striving to make a difference was what was most exciting for me. She got to listen to influential people and be part of the Off The Mask event that aims to break down stigma around mental illness. She said she wants to be in it next year because she had such a fun time. She may not have gone to school today, but she learned and experienced so much. Thank you, NAMI-NYS, for a great day."
