As many of you know, I've been a volunteer with NAMI for about 12 years now. Recently, our local NAMI was approached by an Emmy-award winning producer who wants to do a documentary on Mental Illness and he wants NAMI to be part of the documentary. As a result, I am heading into the NAMI office shortly to conduct a "class" which they will film. NAMI has a 12-week education course, Family-to-Family, comprised of 12 separate 2.5 hour classes that we present once per week for 12 weeks. What we're doing today is class 7, which is a class on empathy. We have about a dozen family members who have volunteered to be "class members" in this endeavor. All the family members have taken the full 12-week Family-to-Family course so none of this will be new to them.
While I'm admittedly a little nervous about this, I'm excited about it at the same time. Not sure how much of what we do today will actually end up in the documentary, but certainly some of it will. The documentary is going to air in prime time on PBS (not sure when).
Wish me luck.
