Hello to all! I just got back from a convention. The National Alliance For The mentally Ill (NAMI) just concluded the TN meeting. It was held in Nashville TN and I had a super time. :cool: Boy did I learn a lot! The workshops included psychiatrics, social workers, teachers, nurses, and others all speaking about mental illnesses. We even had the state commissioner of mental health there to address the group. What a weekend! :cool:
I went to the drug or medication workshop, decriminalization of mental illness (jail, probation, diversion & other), and something about NAMI National (what they do for the state people). We also had a big dinner and music for entertainment. :D
I also attended one working lunch in which I and the other affiliate leaders got to sound off. We have a master copy of each program that was offered. I’m sure that I could deliver all of them next week. LOL The book (and I do mean book!) would take me just a month to read. Much less teach. However, if anyone in my group needs a section of information I will have it to offer. I guess I will try to look for items to take to each member.
The more I learn the more I find out just how much that I do not know. :confused:

Do you know who you remind me of?? Honest - John Walsh. Here's a guy who faced a devastating blow to his family and could have easily become bitter, hateful & cynical. Instead he set up to change the part of the world that he could. And now there's America's Most Wanted, and YOU getting up to speak at a huge convention where you both can truly make a difference. (Ever thought of a book yourself?)
(By the way, I dated a guy once in high school who came from Bumpus Mills TN, have always had a soft spot for the state!)
