The Family Experience is a program developed by NAMI Wisconsin to reflect the experience of family members of someone living with a mental illness. This is a 75-minute presentation for general adult audiences. The goals are to encourage conversation, educate the public, decrease stigma, and nurture empathy for those caring for a family member with mental illness. 

The presentation can be used in college classes, community organizations, faith groups, civic groups, or academic settings.
