NAMI Webinar: Navigating Schizophrenia in Black & Hispanic Communities (Rompiendo el Silencio)

Date & Time
May 19, 2026 12:00 PM in
Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Description
Schizophrenia remains largely unspoken, yet for millions, it is a lived reality shaped by resilience, family, and the pursuit of dignity. In recognition of World Schizophrenia Awareness Day (May 24), we welcome you to a meaningful webinar focused on humanizing this diagnosis and highlighting often overlooked voices in the mental health conversation.

Join us for an intimate conversation exploring the intersection of culture, storytelling, and advocacy within Black and Hispanic communities.

What We’ll Explore:

1) How open dialogue can dismantle cultural taboos and foster healing.
2) Insights into the unique challenges faced by Spanish-speaking and Black communities.
3) How personal journeys with schizophrenia can drive policy change and criminal justice reform.
4) Moving beyond clinical labels to prioritize support, access, and human connection.
