Did you know that one in four adults experiences a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year? In fact, one in five families is struggling to cope with the serious mental illness of a loved one, even here in beautiful Sussex County.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness offers help and hope. NAMI is the largest non-profit, grass roots mental health advocacy organization in the United States, with a chapter in each state and over 2000 local affiliates nationwide.
Our Sussex County NAMI affiliate is working hard to improve the health and quality of life for those suffering from mental illness in our area. We provide support and education for family members. We strive to end the stigma and discrimination which are often barriers to effective treatment and rehabilitation. We advocate for improved mental health services. Our support groups and educational programs are provided free of charge by our dedicated volunteers.
If you or one of your family members is struggling with mental illness, we'd like to help. Please give me a call or send me an email if you'd like to learn more about the programs and services NAMI-Sussex County has to offer.
