Mental health: issues, what to look out for, and resources

Founded in 1975, NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization. Its Santa Clara County affiliate—the largest in California—has supported local families for 50 years through education, advocacy, and free programs.

Barb has volunteered and worked with NAMI for over 20 years, teaching classes, staffing the Helpline, and coordinating programs. A family member whose son lived with schizophrenia, she now focuses on outreach to expand awareness of NAMI’s services.
