Trina Gilbert

Trina found NAMI through an In Our Own Voice (IOOV) presentation in 2017 - after her second stay at Lady Sunshine House. Once on her feet, she joined NAMI to give back to her community and to learn more about her own mental health struggles. 

 

Since joining NAMI, Trina has been trained and certified as a facilitator for the Connections Recovery Support Group, IOOV, and Peer to Peer (P2P). 

​

"I am a grandma who enjoys the outdoors and planting gardens. I have a love of helping others.

I have a desire to become a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist in the near future.

I always try to think and be positive, I know there was a time that I could only live minute by minute."
