2012 ANNUAL REPORT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE As of the end of 2012, we reached signifcant milestones within our organization. NAMI Peer-to-Peer and NAMIWalks celebrated their 10th anniversaries. These and other achievements were made across the country because of the work of thousands of dedicated NAMI volunteers and staf. Our strength as an organization continues to rely on the roots that reach through communities in every state. Thirty-four NAMI State Organizations have already successfully completed the rechartering process, a frst and vital step in our collective pursuit of organizational well-being as envisioned in the NAMI Standards of Excellence. In 2013, many more will join those ranks. Many NAMI Afliates have already passed resolutions declaring their desire to pursue organizational excellence and to sign an Afliation Agreement, a formal process that re-afrms our mutual accountability to one another within the NAMI movement. These are exciting developments, benchmarks along our way to making NAMI a household name. In May 2012, NAMI launched its Mental Health Care Gets My Vote! campaign to mobilize individuals afected by mental illness to participate in the 2012 elections. The website featured information and tools including detailed breakdowns of state election laws and the rights of people living with disabilities. We continued to maintain our strong presence at the federal level. NAMI staf and volunteers testifed in front of Congress. We issued statements and engaged policymakers. Progress was made with the Supreme Court upholding the ruling that health insurance Michael Fitzpatrick, M.S.W., executive director must be provided for pre-existing conditions and the Department of Health and Human Services ruling making parity for mental health and substance abuse treatments an essential health beneft. Returning military and their families continued to be a priority in 2012. We worked to train NAMI educators on military culture. The NAMI Military and Veterans Council was reorganized and strengthened. In response to the rising rates of increasing suicide and PTSD in newly returned veterans, NAMI released a special report Parity for Patriots, which described the injustices experienced by veterans and their families. In our ongoing efort to expand NAMI’s reach, we revamped our NAMI On Campus program and relaunched StrengthofUs.org, our online social media site devoted to young adults living with mental illness. By the end of the year, we had 83 active campus clubs and more in development. Last year also marked the launch of a new public service announcement to educate viewers about mental illness. "Monuments" featured infuential fgures from history including Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill and Mahatma Gandhi. One of the aspects of the campaign—one that continues to endure—was the sharing of personal stories by many people living with mental illness. These shared experiences continue to serve as a source of inspiration. Three of the many tremendous stories we've received are featured in this annual report. You can share your own story today at www.nami.org/notalone. In the face of tragic events, NAMI has remained strong and focused on its mission. I see 2013 as a time of celebration and hope. We will continue to work to create opportunities to bring treatment to those who need it most. The time is now to seize opportunity and work together to build a system of care that does not tolerate injustice. Thank you for all that you do, Michael J. Fitzpatrick, M.S.W. NAMI Executive Director This past year, two tragedies tested the resolve of Americans across the country. In Aurora, Colo. and Newtown, Conn. the lives of too many ended too soon. In the wake of these disasters, however, a sustained dialogue on the long-broken mental health system has begun. We have an opportunity to not just fx the […]
