About
My name is Mary Phillips and I currently work at the BMC as a peer specialist.  We have support groups that people can come in person or join on zoom.  I am trained in three NAMI programs; NAMI IOOV, NAMI connections and NAMI peer to peer.  I began my journey to become a peer specialist about ten years ago.  I started volunteering at the NAMI office in the Schraftt building. This led to me sharing my recovery story at NAMI’s advocacy day at the statehouse.

I currently attend a NAMI support group for myself called NAMIpsan for my own support and to seek out wisdom from its leader.  The BMC where I currently work is staffed by people in recovery from mental health struggles as well as addictions.  We work together to support members in the community who struggle in these areas.  I help facilitate a NAMI connections group there.  It is a very positive community and I am really enjoying my work there.

My talk will share who I am, what happened in my mental health journey, what helps me and what’s next for me.
