About Our Guest Speaker

A lifetime of experience offering support to her brother gives Jennifer Ayers-Moore an authoritative perspective on the plight of the mentally ill and the struggles faced by their families.

As schizophrenia consumed Nathaniel, Ayers-Moore grew determined to fight the stigma and misunderstanding that surround mental illness. She founded the NAAF (www.naayers.org) after publication of “The Soloist: A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music,” a book by Steve Lopez of the Los Angeles Times.

Ayers-Moore has appeared on “60 Minutes,” CNN and other programs. She and her companions wore camouflage jackets to the premiere of “The Soloist” in solidarity with Nathaniel in the battle to “STOP STIGMA.”
