All On Board Coalition's Winthrop Intern, Alyssa Washington, sits down with Kati Durkee to discuss mental health and mental illness. Kati reports that  1 in 5 American's experience mental illness at some point in their lives, which means this is an issue that will affect all of us in some way at some point in our lives. 

Tri-county NAMI is helping to remove the stigma of mental illness and provide support, education and guidance for families facing mental illness. Our mental health is just as important as our physical health, but sometimes we are more reluctant to reach out for help for mental health symptoms verses our physical symptoms. NAMI has excellent support groups, Ending the Silence school programs and educational resources to help those experiencing mental illness and the ones they love.
