NAMI,s been providing me with quality information in their newsletter and webinars for years now. I look forward to get this information in their podcast!
As an adult with Serious Mental Illness, NAMI has played an important part in my journey. I have been involved with NAMI for over six years through attending my local support group. I’m so impressed by all NAMI does nationally, statewide, and locally for those with mental illness. This podcast is an excellent addition to the organization’s work!
