Dear Laura:****
Every year the Athens Chapter of the National Alliance on
Mental Illness puts together a speaker series on mental illnesses at the
Athens County Library. I imagine the students in Chi Sigma Iota might be
interested. It's free and everyone is welcome. I am pasting a flier below.
Please publicize it. Hope to see you there.****
Best, Tom Walker****

**[image: http://www.namiathensohio.org/gfx/2013_Burke1.JPG]******
An OU undergraduate in history, Eric Burke served in his teens and early
twenties for a total of 30 months as a combat infantryman in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Until recently, he was one of an estimated 270,000
PTSD-wounded Post 911 War veterans who - because of stigma-enforced silence
and bureaucratic roadblocks - had not received adequate treatment. However,
beginning in 2012, not only did he seek and begin treatment, but he also
helped to combat the stigma surrounding PTSD with a Soul Of Athens video
titled *The War Within <http://vimeo.com/42568072>* and by speaking at the
Athens area’s annual Crisis Intervention Training for police. ****

*April 25th*****
*Speaker:* Bridget Bailey****
*Topic:* Bipolar Disorder: Lived Experience and Research Topic****
****
**[image: http://www.namiathensohio.org/gfx/2013_Bailey1.JPG]**Bridget
Bailey, MSW, is a doctoral student at the College of Social Work at Ohio
State University. She was diagnosed as an adolescent with bipolar disorder
when that disorder in children and adolescents was not widely recognized.
Her experiences and those of other friends and family with serious mental
illness inspired her to specialize in research concerning childhood and
adolescent bipolar disorder. Her research focuses on evidence based
treatments for that segment of the population and how to implement them in
community mental health centers. She has worked at OSU Harding Hospital in
the Childhood Mood Disorders Lab for two years on several studies advancing
the current knowledge base regarding that phenomenon. ****

*August 29th*****
*Speaker: *Karen Curlis****
*Topic: *Surviving Schizoaffective Disorder and Working in Behalf of My
Peers****
**[image: http://www.namiathensohio.org/gfx/2013_Curlis1.JPG]******
In sound recovery from schizoaffective disorder, Karen Curlis devotes her
considerable energies to helping her peers. She has served on Supreme
Court, Attorney General, and regional task forces concerned with the
interface between consumers and the criminal justice system. Former
president of the Ohio Center for Advocacy, Training, and Support, she also
does peer advocacy and support through recovery tools such as PAD, WRAP,
Peer-to-Peer and In Our Own Voice. In 2012, she was one of only eight
persons nationwide to win a Voice Fellowship Award from the Substance Abuse
& Mental Health Services Administration. ****

****
*September 26th*****
*Speakers:* Darcy and Paul Granello****
*Topic:* Because Every Life is Worth Saving: Suicide and Suicide
Prevention in Young People****
****
**[image: http://www.namiathensohio.org/gfx/2013_Granellos1.JPG]**Each year
in Ohio, we lose about 1400 lives to suicide, and more than 30,000 Ohioans
have a suicide attempt. In 2010, we lost 196 Ohio youths (15-24), and more
than 500 middle age adults. This workshop will use both the current state
of the research and practice experience to teach the basics of suicide
prevention and intervention. The Granellos are professors at Ohio State
University and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors. Particularly
concerned with the phenomenon of suicide in teens and college-aged youth,
the Granellos have written three books on suicide and presented more than
200 times to mental health professionals in the state, nationally, and
internationally.****

*October 24th*****
*Speaker:* Dr. Jennifer Cheavens****
*Topic:* Borderline Personality: Now a Very Treatable Disorder ****
****
**[image: http://www.namiathensohio.org/gfx/2013_Cheavens1.JPG]**Until
recently, borderline personality disorder was seen as very hard, if not
impossible, to treat. However, recent work with dialectical behavior
therapy at Harvard, Duke, and the University of Washington (among other
places) has turned that assumption on its head. Trained at Duke, Dr.
Cheavens served there for three years as Associate Director of the
Cognitive Behavior Research and Treatment Program before becoming an
Assistant Professor of Psychology at Ohio State University and Director of
the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Clinic in the OSU Psychological Services
Center.****
