Mission: AIM was founded in 1983, because the founder suffered from unrelenting panic attacks, and had suffered for 20 yrs with no one to help. Doctors were not educated on the condition. Upon recovering, she wanted to help other individuals with the same problem. The first group had 20 people, but soon grew to 10 groups, both in and out of state. Recovery is not a secret, and using behavioral and cognitive tools seems to be the answer. We provide a hot line, field trips and literature. Our goal is help anxious individuals and provide help and support, while educating the public, also. In this way, our hope is to destigmatize this condition.
Programs: At this time, AIM provides assistance to 7 groups, literature and support. We recently have lost our funding, causing us to cut back in so many areas.
