Partnership Education Presentations (PEP)
Sharing insight into the reality and scope of severe and persistent mental illness through educational presentations.
About PEP
The Partnership Education Presentation program uses a personal storytelling model to shed light on the reality and scope of severe and persistent mental illness. A panel of three guest speakers — usually a person with a mental illness, a family member, and a BCSS staff member or mental health professional— share their insights and personal journeys with mental illness. BCSS Partnership Education Presentations foster understanding and help reduce the stigma of mental illness.
