This week’s It’s Your City with Cortney Bloomer features a discussion with Linda Porzig, Education Program Administrator of the Western Nevada affiliate of National Alliance on Mental Illness, also known as NAMI. May Is Mental Health Month.
This year, the Western Nevada alliance of NAMI has received the Outstanding Affiliate Award. NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation’s leading voice on mental health.
Today, NAMI is an association of hundreds of local affiliates, state organizations and volunteers who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need.
