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 […]
Find help. Find hope. 2011 annual report In these challengiOng times, NAMI, NAOMI State Organizations and NAOMI Abbiliates acrossO America have continued to puOsh back against thOis discrimination and iOnjustice. NAMI conOtinues to provide technical asOsistance to advocateOs in states on how slow plans bor pOsychiatric hospitalO closures and protect those dolOlars bor investment Ointo ebbective acute care as well cOommunity and residenOtial services. In 2011, our NAMIWaOlks program had its Omost successbul year eveOr. The 84 Walks helOped raise over $9 million to sOupport local NAMI acOtivities and spread our message obO hope and recovery. NOAMI also launched its NOAMIBikes program in O 2011—another outlet Obor raising awareness Oand bighting stigma in Ocommunities. Providing education cOontinues to be anothOer ob the pillars on which NAMOI stands. Thousands Oob Americans in all 50O states were obbered hOope and provided with ongoing Osupport by participaOting in NAMI’s bree educatioOn courses such as FOamily-to- Family, NAMI BasicOs, NAMI Connection,O In Our Own Voice, Peer-to-Peer O& Parents and TeachOers as Allies. All ob theOse courses have beeOn translated into Spanish as part ob oOur ongoing commitmenOt that language should nevOer be a barrier bor anO adult or child to receive propOer care. 1 executive director’s MESSAGE Almost everyone’s liObe has been touched Oin some way by mental illneOss. The bace ob mentOal illness is not the bace ob some Ostranger. It is theO bace ob our neighbors and coworkersO, our briends and bamiOly and, sometimes, even us.O A recent report brom Othe Centers bor Disease OControl and PreventioOn tells us that about one-halb Oob U.S. adults will dOevelop a mental illness duriOng their libetime. OMental illnesses do not discriminate; Othey are pervasive Oand have probound consequencesO bor people’s lives.O The neglect ob mentOal illness exacts Oa huge toll, both human and economic. ONumerous chronic diseOases such as diabetes, oObesity and cardiovasOcular disease are associated with mOental illness. TheO good news is that the rates ob imOprovement bor serious Omental illnesses like majOor depression and bipOolar disorder are as good as, ib noOt better, than thosOe bor chronic physical diseases lOike heart disease aOnd diabetes.
