The National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI, will hold a general meeting from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 17 at the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership, 555 Northgate Drive.

Attendees will learn about research that shows how people with schizophrenia can feel strong emotions even if they don't express them and how they can enjoy being with other people or working on a project even if they don't look forward to doing these things, organizers said. Dr. Ann Kring, vice chair and professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, will lead the discussion.

NAMI Marin programs are free to the public. For more information, call NAMI Marin at 444-0480.
