SUMMARY:PSAN Recovery Speaker Series - Laura Kaponer
DESCRIPTION:About\nLaura Kaponer is originally from New York State. She relocated to South Carolina for the second time in 2015 after a difficult bout of depression.\nWalking into her first NAMI Connections meeting was truly a turning point in her recovery. For the next three years\, her involvement waxed and waned based on where she was in her\nrecovery. \nIn 2018 she was inspired at the NAMI SC State Conference to\npursue public advocacy. She began writing monthly articles for two publications local to her\, the online publication Thought Catalog\, participated in podcast series with PSYCHU\, became a Certified Peer Support Specialist\, and established her own social media presence. \nAt the 2019 NAMI SC State Conference she was one of the recipients of the “Stigma Buster of the Year” award. In August 2021 she was appointed the NAMI SC PLC Rep\, officially elected into the position at the end of\n2022. For her state\, she has helped reestablish the NAMI SC Peer Leadership Council with the generous support of the SC state affiliates.\nOn the national level she was appointed the NAMI PLC Advocacy Subcommittee Chair. \nShe is a trained connections facilitator\, In Our Own Voice Presenter\, and three-time NAMI Walks Team Captain. \nAdvocacy is truly what keeps her heart pumping. Her main passion is to help expand access to mental health services for her peers from healthcare to conferences. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://bostonmedicalcenter.zoom.us/j/96984874345 \nMeeting ID: 969 8487 4345\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,96984874345# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,96984874345# US (Germantown) \nDial by your location\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)
