🪇Happy AmeriCorps Week! 🤩We love our AmeriCorp/COMCorp member, Christian, so much that we want to shout it from the rooftops! Serving with us since September, he learned the ropes and got right to work. Christian has been doing a mental health movie series with patients at Appalachian Behavioral Healthcare, he recently helped us become certified by the Department of Behavioral Health, and he is working hard on "Frame of Mind" a Mental Health Movie Series at the Athena this May! We love working with this program, and are so thankful for the knowledge, fun, and laughter Christian brings to our work! Thank you COMCorps an AmeriCorps Program!

People with mental illness deserve care, treatment, and support — not criminalization.

Too often, untreated mental illness leads to arrest and incarceration. NAMI provides information and resources to help families better understand the criminal justice system and how to navigate it when a loved one becomes involved.
