     In December of 2009 I became a NAMI Connection Facilitator.  I did so because NAMI Connection is a wonderful and beneficial program for those who live with mental illness.  It is non-judgmental, helps build self confidence, sets realistic goals, establishes support systems and offers tools and knowledge to help prevent relapse.
