NAMI: the Mahoning Valley sector forNational Alliance on Mental Illness. Pictured (l-r):Dave Crawford, Brian Laraway, Dr. Mike Cafaro,Jim and Mary Jo Henkel.
This is the largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of persons living with serious mental illness and their families. Since 1979, NAMI has become the Nations voice on mental illness.One in five is affected with some type of mental illness.
The stigma attached is tremendous as this disease is not understood and people don't like to talk about it. NAMI is there for them and their families.
The Mahoning Valley group is sponsoring a walk on October 20 to raise awareness. The more talk about this disease, the more the stigma will disappear. It is a brain disorder.
The only way to recovery is through medication and support. NAMI is there for the Support, Education and Advocacy for those affected and their families, but their services are limited.
October 20th is the walk. You can get more information on the internet at www.nami.org/namiwalks/mahoning. You may also contact David Crawford at 330-718-8097 or e-mail him at dave.crawford@ivax.com.
