May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. On behalf of NAMI Southwest CT, (National Alliance for Mental Illness) I would like to thank the following churches and hospitals for hosting our monthly Friends and Family Support Group meetings: Greenwich Hospital, The Tully Center, United Church of Rowayton, First Congregational Church of Stamford, First Church Congregational of Fairfield and Greens Farms Church of Westport.
I would also thank to thank the Piedmont Club in Darien for hosting our monthly Out of the Abyss support Group monthly meeting.
A shout out to Greenwich Hospital, First Congregational Church of Old Greenwich and United Church of Rowayton for hosting our Family to Family courses throughout the year.
These spaces are graciously donated, allowing us to provide free support and a wealth of information to help family and friends navigate the overwhelming challenges of supporting loved ones with a mental health condition. Our meetings provide a safe place for people to share their experiences and offer hope for hundreds of others.
With gratitude,
Laurel Scarlata
