The event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church in Albert Lea.
This event will start with a presentation from Kay King. King is a presenter from NAMI MN and has done other speaking events in the area and all over Minnesota. The presentation will end with an introduction to the local affiliate and what is currently available, as well as what is to come. This is a night for others to come and let the local affiliate know what the community is looking for to assist in the fight against the stigma of mental health and advocate for all people living with, or supporting someone with, a mental illness.
