| "A great way to meet people who understand" |
NEWSLETTER CREW
We get together once a month to help get the Iris prepared for
mailing. We meet at Highland United Methodist Church to attach
mailing stickers. This is a great way to become involved and get
to know other NAMI Volunteers. The date for mailing the Iris is
usually the first Friday of each month. We get started at 9:00 AM
and would welcome new volunteers.
Other Ways to Get Involved-- Work from Home:
1) Could you spare a little time to take a person with a mental
illness to an appointment? Occasionally, we have some people
who need transportation to medical appointments at UNC or other
area medical facilities. Your help could make a BIG difference in
their lives.
2) Do some research to find good places to put free
advertisements of our support groups, classes, education
meetings, and other events. Prepare a document with all this
information for use by volunteers.
3) Are you an “organizer” with your own transportation? We need
someone to organize a group of volunteers to get our brochures
and other materials into the offices of health care providers,
libraries, hospitals and other areas where people needing
information and support are likely to find it.
4) Are you interested in helping some young adults with mental
illness start some “coffee shop” social groups? Having a mental
health disorder makes finding friends difficult sometimes. You
can help.
5) Are you interested in getting broader involvement of the
African American Community in mental health issues?
