This class was led by Lynn Gerard RN, BSN. Lynn is also the Director of Quality Improvement, Education and Risk Management at Guardian Angels of Elk River.
Lastly, attendees were presented with 2 volunteer speakers with NAMI MN who bravely shared their dark days, acceptance, treatments, coping skills, hopes and triumphs while living with a mental illness. This course is called In Our Own Voice.
