So grateful to NAMI Chicago for helping me find my voice, coming out of the shadows and coming to terms with my mental health condition. In 'coming out' I have been empowered to join forces with other wonderful, unique individuals who are living in recovery and who are striving to increase the awareness of mental health issues and to reduce stigma. Thank you NAMI Chicago for helping me to live again.
