Our cause for the next two months was yet again a suggestion from a friend. I was so grateful for the recommendation because I feel it's very far reaching and also something we haven't really supported much over our 15+ years of 'Monthly Causes'. So, for the next two months we will be gathering donations for NAMI San Francisco. I think most of us can probably say that we have encountered a family member or friend that has struggled with mental health condition on some level at some point in their lives. We are glad we found NAMI and happy to support their work for the next two months.
From their website:
OUR MISSION:
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is the nation’s largest grassroots organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals living with a mental health condition and their families. With organizations and affiliates in every state, NAMI effectively provides advocacy, support, and education for millions of Americans.
At the heart of NAMI San Francisco's mission is the sharing of information and striving to end the stigma associated with mental illness. To this end, we offer a Helpline, support groups, educational meetings, newsletters, and a number of educational classes on mental illness held at various locations throughout the city.
- Support people with mental illnesses and their families by helping them find the coping mechanisms for their daily struggle with brain disorders
- Educate people who have a mental illness, their families, and the general public about mental illness with the goal of dispelling ignorance and stigma.
- Advocate for more research and an improved system of mental health services across the nation.
