NAMI - A source of help

With my previous blogs, I have talked about mental illness. Did you know if you have a mental illness or a loved one has a mental illness, you are not alone and there is help available?

NAMI – National Alliance on Mental Illness is a great organization for finding support and resources. NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of persons living with serious mental illness and their families. Founded in 1979, NAMI has become the nation’s voice on mental illness, a national organization including NAMI organizations in every state and in over 1100 local communities across the country who join together to meet the NAMI mission through advocacy, research, support, and education.

I am affiliated with NAMI Texas. Their website is www.namitexas.org. NAMI provides support groups, educational programs, and a wealth of information to families and professionals about mental illness and the resources that are available.

If you need more information, contact your local NAMI or email me at info@celtwolfe.com.
