NAMI Illinois' Giving Campaign

HELP CHANGE HAPPEN
 

We have been deeply touched by the tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and we mourn the young lives our nation lost.  It was an event that defied all that we know about mental illnesses.  As an organization of individuals who live with mental illnesses, their families and advocates who understand recovery-oriented systems of care, we know that these senseless crises can be minimized, but that also means that we have to maintain this sense of urgency and help change happen.

Who, better than NAMI members, understand the fears associated with untreated or inadequately treated mental illnesses?  Who better understands the frustrations of treatment delays, wait lists, ineligibility for services, or an inability to pay for treatment?

If we cannot choose this moment to resolve that we will work together to prevent more tragedies, then we have not learned a thing, and the tragic lessons are bound to be repeated. 

NAMI has much to offer... and we stand ready to do so through all that we do best... education, advocacy and support.  Let's make 2013 our year of paying tribute to all whose lives were lost in this year gone by.  Let's expand education throughout Illinois in hopes that future tragedies will be minimized through early identification and treatment of mental health challenges. 

We have challenges ahead, but many Illinoisans who live with mental illnesses already successfully live their challenges.  Please join us all in moving forward. 

Please consider one more year-end tax deductible contribution this year to support NAMI Illinois' education efforts.   Click here to make your donation using a secure on-line form.   

Together, we can shape our future.

Thank you... we look forward to a big - and successful - mental health agenda for 2013!

All the best to you and your family,
  
NAMI Illinois Board of Directors, Staff and Community Leaders
