Review for NAMI Florida Inc, Tallahassee, FL, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I moved down to Florida in 1996 and needed a connection to help keep my strength with fighting the stigma against my diagnoses of "schizophrenia". I was welcomed into my local NAMI affiliate. I used my passion and energy to be involved in the organization with my mission set to "give back". I founded our "Consumer Council" (which is now deemed the"Peer Council"), I sit on the Board, various committees, mentor Peer-to-Peer classes and never say, "No" to helping someone out in need. The latter, is what NAMI has taught me, what the organization is really all about...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

have more peer involvement.

How did you find this group?

They found me.

What, if any, change in your life has this group encouraged?

A purpose, a focus, an organization to believe in and rally while having people in my life that I know I can utilize as supports when needed for "whatever"...in a heart beat.
