Professor Stacy Walker of Lone Star College, will address this issue.

Mental illness is an issue that has garnered much media attention as of late.  It has long been a passion of mine to educate others on this, now very timely, topic.  With information and education, we can work to remove the societal stigma associated with mental illness.  This is a crucial step in the community support that is needed for diagnosed persons and their families.
