NAMI Northeast Iowa relies heavily on volunteers to do our work. As a part of NAMI you learn firsthand about the experience of mental illness and the associated social issues, help other people find support, and enjoy the support of a network of people who walked a similar path. We find helping others often improves our own lives.
According to the World Health Organization:
“One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide.” Read the full press release here.
