Testimonials

Being involved with NAMI is very important to me. I am a two-time survivor of suicide, losing my mom and brother who suffered from mental illness disorders. I am very aware of the harm that can come from remaining silent. I hope to make my family proud by speaking out and raising awareness in my community and beyond.
~Jennifer Strickland

I am part of NAMI for so many reasons. The numbers on people affected by mental illness are staggering and the need for education and support are greater than ever. My heart has always been with marginalized groups such as minorities, at-risk youth, the poor, the homeless, the LGBT community, the disabled, etc. Sadly, many of these groups intersect but, thankfully, an organization like NAMI is there to help. I want to be a part of spreading the help out to those who so desperately need it. I want to be a part of removing the stigma from mental illness.
~Aubreya Ceniseros

I fully support NAMI because it helps people coping with serious mental illness break into public life in the community. It is a way to advocate for and include people who are differently-abled and sheds a much-needed spotlight on a vulnerable portion of our community.
~Tim Davenport-Herbst

My family and I have been surviving with mental illness for many years, and it has been hard to figure out what resources are available. NAMI is that connection for families to find the support systems in our community. I chose to volunteer for NAMI to help provide mental health trainings for education and awareness for our local communities. NAMI is a blessing for our area!
~Stacy McGuire

Upon diagnosis of my mental disorder, as a teenager I found I had no or little to none resources to rely on at the time whether a peer or otherwise. I worked to learn about the disorde,r but also how to help others. Working with my NAMI chapter, I find comfort and knowledge that we are working to help others who are just now or have been coping and struggling to manage a health issue that has gone by a blind eye for so many decades. Work with our San Angelo NAMI chapter has given me hope and a sense that I and others are going to make a difference in our community.
~Tim DiMiceli

NAMI gave me hope, confidence, and the power to realize my future, at a time when I had given up. Now I wish to share my Mental Health challenges, and help others who struggle with similar problems.
