A man with a beard and tattoos on his right arm, wearing a green t-shirt and ripped jeans, stands in front of a window with blinds, speaking or giving a presentation at an adult program called 'NAMI Collier.' Behind him is a wall with a colorful tree wreath and a sign that says 'Adult Program. We are Kind and Safe.' A table with a jar of water and some papers is in front of him.
