Two speakers will share their perspectives on a highly misunderstood topic Tuesday, April 2 at Bucks County Community College in Newtown and online In order to help break the stigma about mental health issues, Bucks County Community College presents “NAMI In Our Own Voice” at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, at the Newtown Campus and online. Speakers Mia Scocozzo and Rachel Hetrick will share their personal perspectives and talk openly about their experiences in an attempt to change attitudes, assumptions and ideas about people with mental health conditions. Scocozzo, the Youth Programs Director of NAMI Bucks County, visits students to talk about the warning signs for mental health conditions, facts, statistics, and how to get help. For example, she developed a program called Small Talk for elementary students to learn how to name their feelings, differentiate between emotions, and practice healthy coping skills. Scocozzo shares her personal journey of recovery to allow others to feel less alone in a drive to end the stigma around mental health. Hetrick is a graphic designer based in Philadelphia who expresses herself through painting and illustration and loves to exercise. Mental health advocacy is a big part of her life, and she is passionate about spreading hope. The presentation, which is free and open to the public, also provides information on how to learn more about mental health and get involved with the mental health community. “NAMI In Our Own Voice” takes place at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, in the Gallagher Room, located inside the Rollins Center on the campus at 275 Swamp Rd., Newtown, Pa., 18940.

Bucks County Community College is proud to partner with Legal Aid which has assisted over 1,000 people per year in conjunction with schools. All information shared with attorneys and paralegals is confidential. The clinic will try to accommodate walk-ins; however, advance registration is preferred. The registration deadline is April 7. To register for the clinic, email legalstudies@bucks.edu. Some convictions cannot be expunged but may be sealed so that they are not of public record. Paralegals may not practice law or otherwise provide legal services directly to the public except as permitted by law. The clinic is for individuals who: have arrests without convictions; or have misdemeanor convictions, without new convictions, over 10 years old; or are over 70 years old, and their conviction is at least 10 years old; or passed away 3 years ago, and post-humus expungement is sought. Please note that individuals must have paid all fines due and completed any probation to qualify for expungement. Please also note that in some instances, certain convictions cannot be expunged and will remain on the record. However, these same convictions could be sealed from the general public. It is important to note that the clinic may need to refer some individuals to other legal organizations due to the location of individuals’ criminal records, such as Philadelphia and/or outside of Pennsylvania.
