Testimonials:
- "NAMI has been a blessing to me and my family. Through NAMI I learned how to support my family and others. I have met so many wonderful friends and have been blessed to learn from many of them. NAMI has helped my grow as a person and I will always be grateful." -Laura
- "Until I found NAMI I didn't realize there were outlets and support for people with loved ones struggling with mental health. People around me couldn't understand what I was dealing with so they really couldn't couldn't provide help. Going through the NAMI program gave me more understanding of what my loved one was going through, how to be more supportive to them, but also gave me support for what I was going through as well." - Nicholas
