EACH MIND MATTERS! NAMI Amador is very fortunate to be awarded a grant for rural counties, from the California Mental Health Services Authority and funded by the Mental Health Services Act. With this funding, NAMI Amador and Amador County Behavioral Health Services will be hosting two very special events during Mental Illness Awareness Week, on October 6 & 10. These are open to everyone at no charge. We hope you can join with friends and neighbors and attend as we begin an important conversation about mental health in Amador County. Our first event; A casual Anti-Stigma Stroll, will take place Sunday, October 6th at 4:00 pm beginning at First 5 on Broadway, around Sutter Amador Hospital, and ending back at First 5 with refreshments. The 2nd event is on Thursday, October 10th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at Thomi’s Ballroom on Highway 49 in Jackson we will host a community meeting with a light buffet dinner. This event will feature key segments from the PBS documentary “A New State of Mind,” first-hand accounts of local experiences with mental illness, and a discussion of how mental health is viewed in our community.
