Of critical importance right now is fighting the social stigma of mental illness, connecting local available resources, and working one on one with families caught in the circle of not knowing where to go or what to do. Members of our affiliate are here to help on the local level. We invite you to join us and in time help others.

While working through difficult times, we can find strength in the words of M. Scott Peck: "The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." NAMI FDL hopes to be a part of that search.
