Escape into NAMI Central Texas
Join us as we escape into NAMI Central Texas!
We're excited to welcome Colleen Gallion, executive director for NAMI Central Texas, to the conversation!
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization, dedicated to improving the lives of millions of Americans affected by mental illness. What began in 1979 as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table has grown into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today, NAMI is an alliance of more than 600 local affiliates working in communities to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available.
