NAMI Wilmington

NAMI Wilmington Dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with mental illness and their families through support, education, and advocacy in Wilmington, NC.

The families and members of NAMI Wilmington are here to help! We offer understanding to anyone concerned about mental illnesses and the treatment of mental illness. Mental illnesses are brain disorders that are biologically based medical problems. Untreated, they can cause severe disturbances in thinking, feeling and relating. This results in substantially diminished capacity for dealing with the ordinary demands of life. Mental illness can affect persons of any age and occur in any family. They are not caused by bad parenting and not evidence of weakness of character. OUR GOALS

Advocate at the county, state and national levels for non-discriminatory access to quality healthcare, housing , education and employment for people with mental illness. Educate the public about mental illness. Work to eliminate the stigma of mental illness. Advocate for increased funding for research into the causes and treatment of mental illness. OUR VISION

In our envisioned future mental illness will no longer thwart a person’s fulfillment of his or her potential. With early pinpoint diagnoses, interventions and targeted medications and services there is no pervasive disability. Ultimately, we envision a day when prevention or a cure is found.

Thank you to everyone who was kind enough to help Doug on his incredible journey, while simultaneously supporting us here at NAMI-Wilmington. Below are a few heartfelt words from Doug himself.

Dear Friends and Supporters:

Yesterday, Sunday, March 8th, I crossed the finish line of the Azalea Sprint Triathlon. I want to thank every one of you who supported me along the way.

Because of your generosity, the GoFundMe campaign raised $2,030 for NAMI Wilmington, the organization that has meant so much to me over the years. Your financial support will help them continue their important work supporting individuals and families facing mental health challenges.

But your encouragement meant more than donations alone. Knowing that friends and family were behind me gave this race a deeper purpose. It gave me a reason to keep training, to keep pushing forward, and to stay strong during my battle with cancer. That focus has been incredibly meaningful to me.

It is honestly impossible for me to fully express how grateful I am.

For those who would like to see the finish and a few moments from the race, I’ve posted a short reel on my Instagram page: .j.engelman

Thank you for standing with me. Your kindness, encouragement, and generosity carried me every step of the way.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Doug
