In today's podcast, Surya and Stuti have a conversation with Kay Derrico, an activist at NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). NAMI is one of the largest grassroots mental health organizations that promote awareness of individuals and families affected by mental illness. With Derrico's experiences, she underscores the negative stereotypes that exist for people with mental illness, which aggregates a lack of assistance and inclusivity. Derrico discusses the steps that must be taken to destigmatize mental illness through NAMI's programs.
