NAMI Utah Needs Your Help!!! |
|
As you know, the current economic situation is placing additional stressors on society. Whether measured by the unemployment rate, reaction to the economic bailout debates, rationing money to pay for medications or food, or the effects of the high home foreclosure rates, the current economic situation has Americans experiencing more psychological distress than ever before. Those living with mental illness and their families are especially susceptible to distress at this time. Consequently, there is a serious demand for NAMI services.
CHALLENGE
The National Alliance on Mental Illness Utah has set a goal to strengthen families who are affected by mental illness through increasing funding support for the thirteen programs of NAMI Utah which are offered free of charge to the public. The costs associated in providing these services need to be covered.
HOW CAN YOU ASSIST?
