NAMI NYC Changes Lives
NAMI-NYC saved my life. I was in a bad place prior to attending my first Support Group. I could no longer carry the load by myself. I was bursting at the seams and saw myself going into a dark place that was familiar. Making that decision to go to the group and sharing with complete strangers was a huge step for me, but after a couple of group sessions, I found a place where I could be vulnerable around my peers

I’ve gained more empathy. Teaching families how to deal with their relative has been a joy and pleasure, and NAMI has given me that opportunity. As I always tell families, “Even if you cannot help your relative, you can help yourself.”

NAMI-NYC has helped me find the words to articulate the importance of mental health. I learn every day that mental health is as important as physical health, and has to be ‘exercised’ and maintained regularly.
