Our programs have grown, and our community partnerships have grown as has our involvement with various community initiatives and projects. Our desire with this newsletter is to show you the current state of NAMI and to help you get an idea of the vast amount of work that is done by staff and volunteers, and through the support of our community partners. With this growth, however, NAMI is as committed as ever to our mission as we see the increased need for NAMI in our communities. People come to us when they feel at a loss for answers, understanding and hope. At NAMI people discover they are not alone, but there are others who have walked this path and have found answers that only the lived experience can provide. These are people who, from a place of love, find solace in reaching out to others who are likewise navigating this path. With the primary philosophy of “there is no need to explain, we already know”our staff and volunteers offer support without judgment or condemnation. Those in need are assisted to find tools and resources to find healing, hope, and recovery. Our work focuses on these things: helping individuals with mental illness tobe able to live full and productive lives, strengthening families, educating the community and raising awareness, and affecting positive change in our systems of care and communities. This work is done by people living through their own pain and yet still being able to see the needs of others. Through NAMI, we are able to see the very best of the human spirit. Service, compassion, kindness, hope, and ultimately, triumph. I feel so fortunate to be a part of it. What is NAMI Utah?
