NAMI Walks 2016

Most of you who have been around for a while know that annually I participate in a fund raiser for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). The money raised helps fund many of NAMI's signature programs, including Family-to-Family, a 12-week education program to help families with loved ones living with mental illness more effectively help their ill relative.

I have not set up my fund raising page yet, but will be doing so soon. In the meantime, a good friend sent me this today. It is a powerful video that describes the challenges people living with mental illness face, as well as the challenges their families face in trying to help them. If you have 14 minutes to spare, check it out:

That is a very very powerful message.
it is hard to believe our societies can do no better for many of these patients than sending them to jail, or the streets
(undoubtably the worst places in the world for those suffering severe mental illness, thru no fault of their own).
