NAMI Ask the Expert â Help, Not Handcuffs
Part 1: The Definition of Insanity Documentary & Panel Discussion
February 25, 2021, 4:00 â 6:00 p.m. ET
This first webinar of the series will feature a showing of the 2020 PBS documentary
The Definition of Insanity, which tells the story of the Miami-Dade Criminal Mental Health Project (CMHP), a team of dedicated public servants working through the courts to redirect people living with mental illness from incarceration to recovery.
Following the showing, NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ken Duckworth will lead a guided discussion and Q&A with our panel of experts, many of whom are featured in the documentary. Panelists from a variety of specialties will share insights, information and resources on their community’s response to our nation’s mental health crisis.
Missing Peace Wellbeing + Support will be available on Zoom between 12.30pm and 2.30pm. Nick Smith, founder of Missing Peace, said: “Mental health doesn’t stop for Christmas – in fact for many people, it can be worse. We will be running our usual Friday peer support group on Christmas Day on Zoom. Everyone is welcome!”. Missing Peace provides mental health and wellbeing support. It stages weekly peer support groups and one-to-one sessions. Also, it runs Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) Seminar I courses and Seminar II training, Intentional Peer Support (IPS) Core Principle training and peer supervision sessions – as well as offering Reiki treatments and courses, meditation and essential oils.
