Adult Discussion Group, 9:00 am

Ms. Sharon Lyons of NAMI will talk to us about the issues faced by individuals and families affected by mental illness.  Through the dedicated efforts of grassroots leaders, NAMI focuses on three cornerstones of activity that offer hope, reform and health: Support, Education and Advocacy. 

NAMI’s support and public education efforts are focused on offering individuals and the community resources and information about mental illness through a variety of activities, including the NAMI National Information Help Line, which provides toll-free, direct support and referral addressing more than 4,000 requests each month and the NAMI Connection, a free recovery support group program for adults living with mental illness currently available in more than 300 communities throughout the country. 

NAMI is recognized as the voice of reason on mental illness. NAMI has fought for public policy changes that raise the bar on mental illness care and promote treatment and research.
