Dr. Ken Duckworth of NAMI Says Mental Health Experts Are All Around Us
The National Alliance on Mental Illness’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ken Duckworth, says university degrees and scientific studies on mental illness are valuable. But they’re not the only ways to gain expertise. People who have lived with mental illness, people who have had front row seats to the struggles of close family members, have the educational benefit of lived experience, should be highly valued in our society. Dr. Duckworth’s book, You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health―With Advice from Experts and Wisdom from Real People and Families” features conversation and wisdom from over a hundred regular people who share their stories.
