I grew up with a beautiful mother who suffered mental illness; I’ve witnessed her overwhelming sadness, the stigmas, the not-so-visible scars.
Recently at the Sonoma County Book Festival, I met Ron Shaw, a board member of NAMI-Sonoma County. Thank you, Ron, for wearing the brilliant NAMI T-shirt. Thank you, Rosemary Milbrath, for contacting me. I look forward to presenting my signature writing workshop “Heroes, Tricksters & Villains” at NAMI Sonoma County in 2012. This fun workshop is for all ages–there’s a writer in all of us.
Love Made of Heart inspires adult children of mentally ill parents to speak openly about the stigmas and find resources for their families
Last week was Mental Health Week. I believe that Every Week is Mental Health Week.
National Alliance on Mental Illness —- At the heart of NAMI’s mission is our grassroots and the sharing of information with people with mental illness, their families, friends, mental health professionals, and the general public. NAMI strives to offer hope, reform and health to our American community through support, education , and advocacy efforts. Research is constantly providing us with new information about the brain and the nature of mental illnesses and, consequently, more effective treatments.
