Testimonials
I just wanted to remind you that your work matters. I was also grateful for the presentation yesterday; mental health is so prominent and, to some degree, still taboo, or stigmatized. So, thank you again for coming and sharing [NAMI Ending the Silence]. I very much appreciate you.

“I learned so much while I completed my internship at NAMI Racine County that showed me the importance of destigmatizing mental health and illnesses. Mental health greatly impacts the community I am a part of/grew up with and the community I serve at the LGBT Center of SE Wisconsin. It is so important to provide education to people so they can feel less isolated and know there are different options out there for help.”
