PIECE OF MIND
Piece of Mind will address mental illness and its stigma through performance pieces created by Department of Drama students, based on their interviews with UCI community members affected by mental illness.
The event will also include summary remarks by
House Representative Grace Napolitano, 32nd District of California
Congresswoman Napolitano is very passionate about reducing mental illness stigma, especially preventative measures among adolescents, and her legislative work includes efforts to increase mental health support for students with her Mental Health in Schools Act.
The drama performances will be followed by remarks by Representative Napolitano and a panel consisting of Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Thomas Parham, Department of History professor Robert Moeller, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Orange County chapter president, Steve Pitman.
A reception will follow.
