Urban Sociology-NAMI

The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill in Chicago is a group that helps families or indivuals with counseling of mental health and helps families find resources for the mentally ill. Their mission is to provide hope and improve the quality of life for those in the greater Chicago area whose lives are affected by serious mental illness by providing information & referrals, education, support, advocacy, and active community outreach.

I ususally fundraise to help the NAMI raise money to help families with mental health. Last year I helped raise over 2,000 dollars along with the Department of Psychiatry from UIC for their yearly walkathon. You can also join in walking, donating funds, volunteering, etc..
