BOOK DISCUSSION

KooKoo Land

The UNH Manchester D & IE Committee has selected KooKooLand  by Manchester native and screenwriter Gloria Norris for their 2019 title. The book’s themes of perseverance and the value of education, along with the author’s engaging and humorous writing about growing up here in Manchester under very challenging childhood circumstances, make this both an entertaining read and an important catalyst for community conversations. Because this is such an amazing opportunity to engage in discussion on such a broad community level, the Diversity and Inclusive Excellence Book Club will use KooKooLand as its first fall selection.  

 

Open to the public -to sign up for the discussion, please send an email to unhm.library@unh.edu

In Our Own Voice is a NAMI NH recovery education presentation given by trained presenters who themselves have struggled with mental illness and are in recovery. This brief, yet comprehensive, interactive presentation about mental illness includes a video, personal testimony and discussion. The presentation enriches the participants’ understandings of how people with these serious disorders cope with their symptoms, recover, and lead productive lives with hope, meaning and dignity. The program also empowers those who are faced with mental illness, and provides living proof that recovery is an ongoing reality.

Throughout the presentation, the audience is encouraged to offer feedback and ask questions. These opportunities for participants lead to a better understanding of what it is like to live with a mental illness and help break down the walls of stigma that surround mental illness. 

Space is limited. To sign up, please send an email to carolyn.gamtso@unh.edu
