“A crucial step in helping our communities address mental health is removing the stigma and shame that is commonly associated with this issue,” LaPointe said. “I am so grateful to Sen. Martwick, Wilbur Wright College, and the Chicago chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) organization for helping coordinate this seminar. Above all else, I wanted to organize this event to provide a compassionate space where our community could come together to talk about issues relating to mental health.”
