The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has a long history of advocating to advance science and care for those living with mental illnesses. In this lecture, Ken Duckworth, M.D., will provide an overview of NAMI and the lessons found in his upcoming book, You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health―With Advice from Experts and Wisdom from Real Individuals and Families.

Dr. Duckworth is the Chief Medical Officer of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and has worked with NAMI since 2003. Dr. Duckworth is board certified in adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He was previously Acting Commissioner and Medical Director at the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health.

NIMH established the Director's Innovation Speaker Series to encourage broad, interdisciplinary thinking in the development of scientific initiatives and programs, and to press for theoretical leaps in science over the continuation of incremental thought.
