One of our group attendees is taking her meds and getting herself to her counselor and is just about able to go back to her career in great part due to Connection.” "NAMI Connection has enabled me to take a good look at my illness and see that I am not alone. The program has given me additional tools to not only accept my illness, but to help others along the way." * Once you sign up you will get the address and leader contact information.
