Survivors and mental-health experts will share their stories, experiences and frustrations at a community forum from 6 to 8 p.m. on Dec. 7 at the Ohio Union, 1739 N. High St.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is made possible by a grant of $8,500 from the Richard C. and Nanciann Kaufman Ninde Fund of The Columbus Foundation
