College communities are under-resourced to handle the onset of active addiction or mental illness among their student populations. This forum, at Stevenson University in conjunction with Elisif’s Story, is an opportunity to bring awareness of all kinds to this challenging issue, with an emphasis on how to build a more caring community and the importance of Active Minds and NAMI as student club activities. Panelists include student leaders from Stevenson University, Towson University, and MICA, and Sherry Welch, Executive Director of NAMI Metro Baltimore. Reception immediately follows in gallery to see and hear Elisif’s Story.
